Greenbrier's R&D initiatives aligned with its integrated strategy, focusing on designing differentiated railcar platforms and services. The company aimed to improve manufacturability, lifecycle performance, and regulatory compliance across its global operations. The R&D efforts emphasized incremental platform enhancements, customer-driven design work, and compliance-led innovations rather than large-scale technology programs. Key areas of focus included product innovation across core railcar families, sustainable conversions, aftermarket and service network support, and technology development for fleet management and compliance services. The R&D activities were pragmatic and customer-linked, supporting railcar platform competitiveness, conversion engineering, service process improvement, and technology-enabled fleet solutions. Greenbrier's R&D activities are managed through various engineering teams that focus on different aspects of railcar design and innovation. In North America, the teams work on designing and evolving a broad portfolio of railcars, emphasizing structural optimization, payload efficiency, durability, and cost-reducing features. In Europe, engineering teams support freight wagon and tank wagon designs and certification processes. Additionally, the R&D unit is involved in sustainable conversions, aftermarket and service network support, and technology development for fleet management and compliance services. In FY2025, the company incurred expenses of US$5.5 million on R&D, which as a percentage of revenue, stood at 0.2%.
