SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 12 Months Ended |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries that it controls. For consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company's ownership is less than 100%, the outside shareholders' interests are shown as noncontrolling interests. These statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Sales between subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation. Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash includes cash held in escrow that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable reflects our best estimate of expected losses inherent in our receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, relevant credit forecast information, changes to customer's solvency and other currently available evidence. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $31 million and $28 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is predominantly determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory costs include material, labor and overhead. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment additions are stated at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The Company computes book depreciation principally on the straight-line method. Accelerated depreciation methods are utilized for income tax purposes. Leasing Arrangements The Company conducts a portion of its operations from leased facilities and finances certain equipment purchases through lease agreements. In those cases in which the lease term approximates the useful life of the leased asset or the lease meets certain other prerequisites, the leasing arrangement is classified as a financing lease. The remaining arrangements are treated as operating leases. Right-of-use lease assets are classified as long-term assets under the caption "Other noncurrent assets" and lease liabilities are classified under the captions "Other accrued liabilities" and "Other long-term liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Other intangibles with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. Amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at the reporting unit level and at least annually. The Company performs its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter after the annual forecasting process is completed, and also tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company will perform either a qualitative or quantitative test for goodwill, performing a quantitative test for each identified reporting unit at least every three years. Periodically, Management of the Company assesses whether or not an indicator of impairment is present that would necessitate an impairment analysis be performed. Equity Method Investments The Company invests in privately-held companies which are accounted for using the equity method when the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Equity method investments are included in "Other noncurrent assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $36 million and $105 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Depreciation Expense Depreciation of property, plant and equipment related to the manufacturing of products or services provided is included in Cost of goods or Cost of services. Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment that is not attributable to the manufacturing of products or services provided is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses or Engineering expense to the extent the property, plant, and equipment is used for research and development purposes. Warranty Costs Warranty costs are accrued based on management’s estimates of repair or upgrade costs per unit and historical experience. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws. The provision for income taxes includes federal, state and foreign income taxes. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation based on the grant date fair value recognized ratably over the requisite service period following the date of grant. Compensation expense for incentive stock units is updated as necessary if the number of units expected to vest changes based on the Company's performance. Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to interest rate, commodity price and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. At times, the Company limits these risks through the use of derivatives such as cross-currency swaps, foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, commodity swaps and options. In accordance with the Company's policy, derivatives are only used for hedging purposes. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Foreign currency forward contracts are agreements with a counterparty to exchange two distinct currencies at a set exchange rate for delivery on a set date at some point in the future. At the delivery date, the Company can either take delivery of the currency or settle on a net basis. For further information regarding the foreign currency forward contracts see Note 17. Foreign Currency Translation Certain of our international operations have determined that the local currency is the functional currency whereas others have determined the U.S. dollar is their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is the local currency are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date while income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions and the translation of financial statements are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements based upon the provisions of ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters.” The effects of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions and balances of a long-term investment nature are accumulated and carried as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The effects of currency exchange rate changes on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are charged or credited to earnings. Realized gains and losses related to foreign currency exchange are recognized in Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Noncontrolling Interests In accordance with ASC 810, the Company has classified noncontrolling interests as equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was not material for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for Revenue under ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized and requires entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. A majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time when control passes to the customer which is generally at the time of shipment in accordance with agreed upon delivery terms. The remaining revenues are earned over time. All fees billed to the customer for shipping and handling are classified as a component of Net sales. All costs associated with shipping and handling are classified as a component of Cost of sales. The Company also has long-term customer agreements involving the design and production of highly engineered products that require revenue to be recognized over time because these products have no alternative use without significant economic loss, and the agreements contain an enforceable right to payment including a reasonable profit margin from the customer in the event of contract termination. Additionally, the Company has customer agreements involving the creation or enhancement of an asset that the customer controls which also require revenue to be recognized over time. Generally, the Company uses an input method for determining the amount of revenue, cost and gross margin to recognize over time for these customer agreements. The input method used for these agreements recognizes revenue based on our efforts to satisfy the performance obligation and includes costs of material and labor, both of which give an accurate representation of the progress made toward complete satisfaction of a particular performance obligation. The Company may also use the output method which recognizes revenue based on direct measurements of the value transferred to the customer. Contract revenues and cost estimates are reviewed and revised periodically throughout the year and adjustments are reflected in the accounting period as such amounts are determined. Additional information with respect to contract assets and liabilities is included in Note 8. Due to the nature of work required to be performed on the Company’s long-term projects, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. Contract estimates related to long-term projects are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that could span several years. These assumptions include cost of materials; labor availability and productivity; complexity of the work to be performed; and the performance of suppliers, customers and subcontractors that may be associated with the contract. We have a disciplined process where management reviews the progress of long term-projects periodically throughout the year. As part of this process, management reviews information including key contract matters, progress towards completion, identified risks and opportunities and any other information that could impact the Company’s estimates of revenue and costs. After completing this analysis, any adjustments to net sales, cost of goods sold, and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. Generally, the Company’s revenue contains a single performance obligation for each distinct good or service; however, a single contract may have multiple performance obligations comprising multiple promises to customers. When there are multiple performance obligations, revenue is allocated based on the relative stand-alone selling price. Pricing is defined in our contracts on a line item basis and includes an estimate of variable consideration when required by the terms of the individual customer contract. Types of variable consideration the Company typically has include volume discounts, prompt payment discounts, price escalation clauses, liquidating damages, and performance bonuses. Sales returns and allowances are also estimated and recognized in the same period the related revenue is recognized, based upon the Company’s experience and future expectations. Remaining performance obligations represent the allocated transaction price of unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's remaining performance obligations were approximately $22 billion. The Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately 34% of remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter. Revolving Receivables Program The Company utilizes a revolving facility to sell certain receivables of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Originators"). The Originators contribute receivables to our bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, which sells the receivables to a financial institution on a recurring basis in exchange for cash equal to the gross receivables sold. The bankruptcy remote subsidiary is a separate legal entity with its own creditors, and its assets are not available to pay creditors of the Company or any other affiliates of the Company. As customers pay their balances, we transfer additional receivables into the program, which could result in our gross receivables sold being higher or lower than customer collections remitted to the financial institution for any applicable period. The sold receivables are fully guaranteed by our bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, which holds additional receivables that are pledged as collateral under this facility. The Company has agreed to guarantee the performance of the Originators respective obligations under the revolving agreement. Neither the Company (except for the bankruptcy-remote consolidated subsidiary referenced above) nor the Originators guarantees the collectability of the receivables under the revolving agreements. During 2021, the Company could transfer up to $200 million of certain receivables. During 2022, the program was amended to increase the transfer limit up to $350 million of certain receivables. At December 31, 2023, and 2022 the bankruptcy-remote subsidiary held receivables of $674 million and $458 million, respectively, which are included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The receivables held by the bankruptcy-remote subsidiary collateralize the outstanding receivables sold, which was $20 million and $80 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The transfers are recorded at the fair value of the proceeds received and obligations assumed less derecognized receivables. No obligation was recorded at December 31, 2023 or 2022 as the estimated expected credit losses on receivables sold is insignificant. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these receivables transferred is limited to the amount outstanding.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
ACQUISITIONS | ACQUISITIONS 2023 On December 22, 2023, the Company purchased the remaining ownership shares of Lokomotiv Kurastyru Zauyty (LKZ), a locomotive manufacturing and assembly company located in Kazakhstan, at which time it became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to this purchase, Wabtec owned 50% of LKZ as a joint venture partner and accounted for its ownership interest as an equity method investment. Total purchase price for the remaining 50% interest was $111 million. As a result of the change in ownership interest and obtaining control of LKZ, Wabtec's previously held equity interest balance was remeasured to fair value, resulting in a gain of approximately $35 million recorded to Other income, net. Upon acquisition, Wabtec ceased accounting for the investment using the equity method and recognized 100% of LKZ's identifiable assets and liabilities, and LKZ's results of operations and cash flows are fully consolidated subsequent to the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the fair value of 100% of the LKZ assets acquired and liabilities assumed: In millions Assets acquired Cash and cash equivalents $ 30 Accounts receivable 6 Inventory 95 Property, plant and equipment 36 Goodwill 111 Other noncurrent assets 3 Total assets acquired 281 Liabilities assumed Current liabilities 21 Noncurrent liabilities 3 Total liabilities assumed 24 Net assets acquired $ 257 The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using the income, cost and market approaches. These estimates are preliminary in nature and subject to adjustments, which could be material as the Company has not completed its valuation of acquired assets and liabilities. Any necessary adjustments will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition. Goodwill was calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired and represents the assembled workforce and the future economic benefits of expanding our global operations expected to be achieved as a result of the acquisition. The purchased goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The results of this business since the date of acquisition are reported within the Equipment product line of the Freight Segment. The pro forma impact on Wabtec’s sales and results of operations, including the pro forma effect of events that are directly attributable to the acquisition, was not significant. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company acquired L&M Radiator, Inc., a leading manufacturer of heavy-duty equipment radiators and heat exchangers for the mining sector, for a purchase price of approximately $245 million. The following table summarizes the fair value of the L&M Radiator, Inc. assets acquired and liabilities assumed: In millions Assets acquired Cash and cash equivalents $ 16 Accounts receivable 20 Inventory 27 Other current assets 1 Property, plant and equipment 43 Goodwill 104 Other intangible assets 89 Other noncurrent assets 1 Total assets acquired 301 Liabilities assumed Current liabilities 16 Noncurrent liabilities 40 Total liabilities assumed 56 Net assets acquired $ 245 The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using the income, cost and market approaches. Discounted cash flow models were used to estimate the fair values of acquired intangibles. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Intangible assets acquired include customer relationships and acquired technology that are subject to amortization, and trade names that were assigned an indefinite life and are not subject to amortization. Contingent liabilities assumed as part of the transaction are preliminary and subject to change. These estimates are preliminary in nature and subject to adjustments, which could be material as the Company has not completed its valuation of acquired assets and liabilities. Any necessary adjustments will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition. Goodwill was calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired, and represents the assembled workforce and the future economic benefits, including synergies, that are expected to be achieved as a result of the acquisition. The purchased goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The results of this business since the date of acquisition are reported within the Components product line of the Freight Segment. The pro forma impact on Wabtec’s sales and results of operations, including the pro forma effect of events that are directly attributable to the acquisition, was not significant. 2022 During 2022, the Freight Segment made three strategic acquisitions for a combined purchase price of $89 million. Two of the acquisitions are reported in the Digital Intelligence product line and one is reported in the Services product line. Each of the acquisitions in 2022 are individually and collectively immaterial. 2021 On March 31, 2021, the Company acquired Nordco, a leading North American supplier of new, rebuilt and used maintenance of way equipment. Nordco's products and services portfolio includes mobile railcar movers and ultrasonic rail flaw detection technologies. The purchase price paid for 100% ownership of Nordco was approximately $410 million. The following table summarizes the fair value of the Nordco assets acquired and liabilities assumed: In millions Assets acquired Cash and cash equivalents $ 5 Accounts receivable 23 Inventory 34 Other current assets 2 Property, plant and equipment 17 Goodwill 215 Other intangible assets 168 Other noncurrent assets 12 Total assets acquired 476 Liabilities assumed Current liabilities 20 Noncurrent liabilities 46 Total liabilities assumed 66 Net assets acquired $ 410 The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using the income, cost and market approaches.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS | GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are reviewed annually during the fourth quarter for impairment. The Company has identified three reporting units for purposes of testing goodwill for impairment. Two reporting units exist within the Freight segment (the "Freight" and "Components" reporting units) and the Transit segment is also a reporting unit. In 2023, management elected to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether a quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary for the Components reporting unit. During the assessment, management evaluated all relevant events and facts that may impact the fair value or carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill and concluded that it was not more likely than not that the estimated fair values were less than the carrying values; therefore, no further analysis was required. For the Freight and Transit reporting units, management elected to proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. The discounted cash flow method and the market approach were used to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit using a weighting of 75% and 25%, respectively. The discounted cash flow model requires several assumptions including future sales growth, EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) margins, capital expenditures, a discount rate and a terminal revenue growth rate (the revenue growth rate for the period beyond the years forecasted by the reporting units) for each reporting unit. The market approach requires several assumptions including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) multiples for comparable companies that operate in the same markets as the Company’s reporting units. For 2023, the discounted cash flow method was given more weight compared to the market approach due to variables between the operations of the guideline companies used in the analysis and Wabtec's operations, such as different reporting unit sizes, growth and business characteristics. However, both valuations resulted in a conclusion that the estimated fair values of the Freight and Transit reporting units were in excess of their respective carrying value, and no impairment existed. Additionally, the Company proceeded directly to the quantitative impairment test for certain trade names with indefinite lives. For 2023, the Company's Portfolio Optimization resulted in approximately $14 million in accelerated trade name amortization expense, recorded in "Amortization expense" on the Consolidated Statements of Income. For the remaining trade names subject to the quantitative impairment test, the fair value exceeded each respective carrying value, resulting in a conclusion that no impairment existed. For 2022, the fair value of all material trade names subject to the quantitative impairment test exceeded its respective carrying value, resulting in a conclusion that no impairment existed. For trade names not subject to quantitative testing in 2023 and 2022, the Company elected to perform a qualitative impairment assessment, resulting in a conclusion that it was not more likely than not that the estimated fair values of the trade names were less than their carrying values; therefore, no further analysis was required. The assessment of qualitative factors used in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a trade name is less than its carrying amount involves significant judgments and assumptions. The judgment and assumptions include the identification of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, Wabtec specific events, share price trends and making the assessment on whether each relevant factor will impact the impairment test positively or negatively and the magnitude of any such impact. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment is as follows: In millions Freight Transit Total Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 7,073 $ 1,514 $ 8,587 Additions 35 — 35 Foreign currency impact (23) (91) (114) Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 7,085 $ 1,423 $ 8,508 Additions 215 — 215 Disposals (4) — (4) Foreign currency impact 16 45 61 Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 7,312 $ 1,468 $ 8,780 As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s trade names had a net carrying amount of $612 million and $602 million, respectively, and the Company believes these intangibles have indefinite lives, with the exception of the right to use the GE Transportation trade name, to which the Company has an original useful life of 5 years. Intangible assets of the Company, other than goodwill and trade names, consist of the following: December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 In millions Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Backlog $ 1,431 $ (526) $ 905 $ 1,425 $ (415) $ 1,010 Customer relationships 1,333 (431) 902 1,274 (362) 912 Acquired technology 1,283 (497) 786 1,273 (395) 878 Total $ 4,047 $ (1,454) $ 2,593 $ 3,972 $ (1,172) $ 2,800 The remaining weighted average useful lives of backlog, customer relationships and acquired technology were 9 years, 15 years and 7 years, respectively. The backlog intangible asset primarily consists of in-place long-term service agreements acquired by the Company in conjunction with the acquisition of GE Transportation. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $321 million, $291 million, and $287 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the five succeeding years is as follows (in millions): 2024 $ 289 2025 $ 272 2026 $ 267 2027 $ 262 2028 $ 261 |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
CONTRACT ASSETS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES | CONTRACT ASSETS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES Contract assets include unbilled amounts resulting from sales under long-term contracts where revenue is recognized over time and revenue exceeds the amount that can be billed to the customer based on the terms of the contract. The current portion of the contract assets are classified as current assets under the caption “Unbilled accounts receivable” while the noncurrent contract assets are classified as other assets under the caption "Other noncurrent assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Noncurrent contract assets were $154 million and $162 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Included in noncurrent contract assets are certain costs that are specifically related to a contract but do not directly contribute to the transfer of control of the tangible product being created, such as non-recurring engineering costs. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient and not consider unbilled amounts anticipated to be paid within one year as significant financing components. Contract liabilities include customer deposits that are made prior to the incurrence of costs related to a newly agreed upon contract and advanced customer payments that are in excess of revenue recognized. The current portion of contract liabilities are classified as current liabilities under the caption “Customer deposits” while the noncurrent contract liabilities are classified as noncurrent liabilities under the caption "Other long-term liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Noncurrent contract liabilities were $174 million and $86 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These contract liabilities are not considered a significant financing component because they are used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract or revenue associated with the contract liabilities is expected to be recognized within one year. Contract liabilities also include provisions for estimated losses from uncompleted contracts. Provisions for loss contracts were $104 million and $98 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These provisions for estimated losses are classified as current liabilities and included within the caption “Other accrued liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table reconciles the changes in the Company’s contract assets and liabilities as follows: Contract Assets In millions 2023 2022 Balance at beginning of year $ 706 $ 545 Recognized in current year 692 730 Reclassified to accounts receivable (723) (581) Acquisitions/adjustments (2) 28 Foreign currency impact 5 (16) Balance at end of year $ 678 $ 706 Contract Liabilities In millions 2023 2022 Balance at beginning of year $ 956 $ 824 Recognized in current year 1,380 1,067 Amounts in beginning balance reclassified to revenue (665) (410) Current year amounts reclassified to revenue (593) (528) Acquisitions 1 13 Foreign currency impact 3 (10) Balance at end of year $ 1,082 $ 956 |

See Note 17 for information on the fair value measurement of the Company's long-term debt. Variances between Face Value and Book Value are the result of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs as well as foreign exchange on the Euro Notes. Amortization of discounts and debt issuance fees are included in the calculation of Effective Interest Rate. The Company borrows and repays against the multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility for added flexibility in liquidity to manage cash during the operating cycle. The proceeds from borrowing and the repayments are included within the Financing Activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of December 31, 2023, the annual repayment requirements for debt obligations are as follows: In millions 2024 $ 781 2025 500 2026 750 2027 803 2028 1,250 Total $ 4,084 For those debt securities that have a premium or discount at the time of issuance, the Company amortizes the amount through interest expense based on the maturity date or the first date the holders may require the Company to repurchase the debt securities, if applicable. A premium would result in a decrease in interest expense, and a discount would result in an increase in interest expense in future periods. Additionally, the Company has debt issuance costs related to certain financing transactions which are also amortized through interest expense. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had total unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts of $15 million and $21 million, respectively. At December 31, 2023, the weighted average interest rate on the Company's available variable debt facilities under the Restated Credit Agreement was 6.8%. Credit Agreements Revolving Credit Agreement On June 8, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement ("Original Credit Agreement"), consisting of (i) term loans denominated in euros and U.S. dollars ("Term Loans") and (ii) a multi-currency revolving loan facility, providing for an equivalent in U.S. dollars of up to $1.2 billion. On August 15, 2022, the Company entered into a new unsecured credit agreement ("Restated Credit Agreement"), which amended, restated and replaced the Original Credit Agreement. The Restated Credit Agreement is with a syndicate of lenders and provides for borrowings consisting of (i) a multi-currency revolving credit facility, providing for an equivalent in U.S. dollars of up to $1.5 billion (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) a new $250 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), all pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Restated Credit Agreement (which are substantially similar with the terms of the Original Credit Agreement). The Restated Credit Agreement allows the Company to request, at prevailing market rates, an aggregate amount not to exceed $750 million, (a) increases to the borrowing commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and/or (b) new incremental term loan commitments. The agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default customary for facilities of this type. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on August 15, 2027. The Delayed Draw Term Loan is available for borrowings until February 15, 2024 and any borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan will mature on August 15, 2027. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the Delayed Draw Term Loan may not be reborrowed. The applicable interest rate for borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement includes a base rate (per the Interest Election terms of the agreement) plus an interest rate spread up to 1.75% based on the lower of the pricing corresponding to (i) the Company’s financial leverage or (ii) the Company’s public rating. Obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement have been guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company borrowed the full $250 million of availability from the Delayed Draw Term Loan and utilized the proceeds to redeem the 4.375% Senior Notes, due 2023. The borrowing rate for the Delayed Draw Term Loan is a variable rate reassessed periodically in accordance with the terms of the Restated Credit Agreement. Under the Restated Credit Agreement, the Company has agreed to maintain an Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0, and a Leverage Ratio not to exceed 3.5 to 1.0. The Interest Coverage Ratio is defined as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) to Interest Expense for the four quarters then ended. The Leverage Ratio is defined as Net Debt as of the last day of such fiscal quarter to EBITDA for the four quarters then ended. Additionally, the Company may submit a request for an increased maximum Leverage Ratio in contemplation of a Material Acquisition. All terms are as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in the Restated Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2023. The following table presents availability under the Restated Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2023: In millions Revolving Credit Facility Delayed Draw Term Loan Total Maximum Availability $ 1,500 $ 250 $ 1,750 Outstanding Borrowings — (250) (250) Current Availability $ 1,500 $ — $ 1,500 364-Day Facility During 2021 the Company utilized a $600 million 364 day credit facility ("364 Day Facility") with a group of banks which included a $144 million revolving credit facility and a $456 million term loan. On June 3, 2021, the Company repaid all outstanding borrowings and related interest, effectively retiring the facility. Senior Notes The Company or its subsidiaries may issue senior notes from time to time. These notes are comprised of our 4.375% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes"), 4.15% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes"), 3.20% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"), 3.45% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"), 1.25% Senior Notes (EUR) due 2027 (the "Euro Notes" discussed below), and 4.70% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"). The 2023 Notes, 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes are the “US Notes”, and collectively with the Euro Notes, the “Senior Notes.” Interest on the US Notes is payable semi-annually and interest on the Euro Notes is paid annually. Each series of the Senior Notes may be redeemed any time in whole or from time to time in part in accordance with the provisions of the indenture, under which such series of notes was issued. Each of the Senior Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus a specified make-whole premium and accrued interest. The US Notes and the Company's guarantee of the Euro Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with all existing and future senior debt and senior to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. Beginning September 15, 2023, the effective interest rates for the 2024 Notes and the 2028 Notes were each reduced by 0.25% due to a favorable change in Wabtec's corporate credit rating and the rating of the aforementioned notes. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company redeemed $25 million of principal from the 2024 Notes plus a premium and the related accrued interest. On June 3, 2021, Wabtec Transportation Netherlands B.V. ("Wabtec Netherlands") issued €500 million of 1.25% Senior Notes due in 2027, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The Euro Notes were issued at 99.267% of face value. Interest on the Euro Notes accrues at a rate of 1.25% per annum and is payable annually beginning December 3, 2021. The Company incurred approximately $4 million of deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the Euro Notes for total net proceeds of approximately $599 million after consideration of the discount. The indentures under which the Senior Notes were issued contain covenants and restrictions which limit, subject to certain exceptions, certain sale and leaseback transactions with respect to principal properties, the incurrence of secured debt without equally and ratably securing the Senior Notes, and certain merger and consolidation transactions.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Defined Benefit Pension Plans The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans that cover certain U.S. and international employees, primarily in the United Kingdom, Canada and Germany, which provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service of the employee. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for the plans. The following tables provide information regarding the Company’s significant defined benefit pension plans summarized by U.S. and international components. Obligations and Funded Status U.S. International In millions 2023 2022 2023 2022 Change in projected benefit obligation Obligation at beginning of year $ (29) $ (39) $ (236) $ (356) Service cost — — (3) (3) Interest cost (2) (1) (11) (6) Employee contributions — — (1) (1) Plan settlements, curtailments and amendments 1 — 1 1 Benefits paid 4 3 14 15 Acquisition (29) — — — Actuarial (loss) gain — 8 (5) 86 Effect of currency rate changes — — (10) 28 Obligation at end of year $ (55) $ (29) $ (251) $ (236) Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 31 $ 40 $ 201 $ 307 Actual return on plan assets 2 (6) 10 (72) Employer contributions — — 6 6 Employee contributions — — 1 1 Benefits paid (4) (3) (14) (15) Settlements and other — — (1) (1) Acquisition 26 — — — Effect of currency rate changes — — 8 (25) Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 55 $ 31 $ 211 $ 201 Funded status Fair value of plan assets $ 55 $ 31 $ 211 $ 201 Benefit obligations (55) (29) (251) (236) Funded status $ — $ 2 $ (40) $ (35) Amounts recognized in the statement of financial position consist of: Noncurrent assets $ — $ 2 $ 13 $ 13 Current liabilities — — (2) (2) Noncurrent liabilities — — (51) (46) Net amount recognized $ — $ 2 $ (40) $ (35) Amounts recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, before tax at December 31, consist of: Prior service cost — — (1) (1) Net actuarial loss (14) (14) (64) (59) Net amount recognized $ (14) $ (14) $ (65) $ (60) The aggregate accumulated benefit obligation for the U.S. pension plans was $55 million and $28 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The aggregate accumulated benefit obligation for the international pension plans was $241 million and $227 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Expected return on plan assets, Amortization of net loss, and Settlement and curtailment losses recognized are recorded within Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Service cost is considered a component of employee compensation and is recorded within Cost of sales or Selling, general and administrative expenses depending on the plan participants relative job function. Amounts recognized in Other comprehensive income during 2023 for other changes in plan assets and benefit obligations are not material. The amounts of net actuarial loss and prior service cost included in Other comprehensive loss expected to be recognized as components of periodic benefit costs in 2024 are not material. The weighted average assumptions in the following table represent the rates used to develop the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation for the year listed. U.S. International 2023 2022 2021 2023 2022 2021 Discount rate 5.25 % 5.58 % 2.87 % 4.38 % 4.77 % 1.97 % Expected return on plan assets 3.80 % 3.80 % 5.00 % 5.09 % 4.25 % 4.27 % Rate of compensation increase 3.00 % 3.00 % 3.00 % 2.88 % 2.78 % 2.70 % The discount rate is based on settling the pension obligation with high grade, high yield corporate bonds, and the rate of compensation increase is based on actual experience. The expected return on plan assets is based on historical performance as well as expected future rates of return on plan assets considering the current investment portfolio mix and the long-term investment strategy. Pension Plan Assets The Company has established formal investment policies for the assets associated with our pension plans. Objectives include maximizing long-term return at acceptable risk levels and diversifying among asset classes. Asset allocation targets are based on periodic asset liability study results which help determine the appropriate investment strategies. The investment policies permit variances from the targets within certain parameters. The plan assets consist primarily of equity security funds, debt security funds, insurance contracts, and cash and cash equivalent investments. The assets held in these funds are generally actively managed and are valued at the net asset value per share multiplied by the number of shares held as of the measurement date. (See Note 17). Plan assets by asset category at December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows: U.S. International In millions 2023 2022 2023 2022 Pension Plan Assets Equity security funds $ 3 $ 4 $ 56 $ 44 Debt security funds 35 25 129 131 Insurance contracts — — 12 11 Cash and cash equivalents and other 17 2 14 15 Fair value of plan assets $ 55 $ 31 $ 211 $ 201 The U.S. plan has a target asset allocation of 11% equity securities, 88% debt securities and 1% in other investments. The International plan has a target asset allocation of 10% equity securities, 15% debt securities and 75% in other investments. Investment policies are determined by the respective Plan’s Pension Committee and set forth in its Investment Policy. Rebalancing of the asset allocation occurs on a quarterly basis. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan assets consist primarily of equity security funds, debt security funds, insurance contracts, and temporary cash and cash equivalent investments. These investments are comprised of a number of investment funds that invest in a diverse portfolio of assets including equity securities, corporate and governmental bonds, and money markets. Trusts are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) as determined by their custodian. NAV represents the accumulation of the unadjusted quoted close prices on the reporting date for the underlying investments divided by the total shares outstanding at the reporting dates. The following tables summarize our pension plan assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by fair value hierarchy level (See Note 17): December 31, 2023 In millions NAV Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total US: Equity $ — $ 3 $ — $ — $ 3 Debt Securities — 5 30 — 35 Cash and cash equivalents — 17 — — 17 International: Equity 6 14 36 — 56 Debt Securities — 3 126 — 129 Insurance Contracts — — 4 8 12 Cash and cash equivalents and other — 6 8 — 14 Total $ 6 $ 48 $ 204 $ 8 $ 266 December 31, 2022 In millions NAV Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total US: Equity $ — $ 4 $ — $ — $ 4 Debt Securities — 5 20 — 25 Cash and cash equivalents — 2 — — 2 International: Equity 5 13 26 — 44 Debt Securities — 4 127 — 131 Insurance Contracts — — 3 8 11 Cash and cash equivalents and other — 4 11 — 15 Total $ 5 $ 32 $ 187 $ 8 $ 232 There were no material changes to the Level 3 assets during 2023 and 2022. Cash Flows The Company’s funding methods are based on governmental requirements and differ from those methods used to recognize pension expense. The Company expects to contribute $2 million to certain international pension plans and does not expect to make a contribution to the U.S. pension plan during 2024. Benefit payments expected to be paid to plan participants are as follows: In millions U.S. International Year ended December 31, 2024 $ 4 $ 15 2025 $ 4 $ 15 2026 $ 4 $ 15 2027 $ 4 $ 16 2028 $ 4 $ 17 2029 through 2033 $ 21 $ 91 Defined Contribution Plans The Company participates in certain defined contribution plans. Costs of approximately $60 million were recognized during 2023 and $55 million was recognized during 2022 and 2021, respectively. The 401(k) savings plan is a participant directed defined contribution plan that holds shares of the Company’s stock as one of the investment options. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the plan held on behalf of its participants approximately 355,000 shares with a market value of $45 million, and approximately 371,000 shares with a market value of $37 million, respectively. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The Company is responsible for filing consolidated U.S. federal, foreign and combined, unitary or separate state income tax returns. The Company is responsible for paying the taxes relating to such returns, including any subsequent adjustments resulting from the redetermination of such tax liabilities by the applicable taxing authorities. The components of the income before income taxes for the Company’s domestic and foreign operations for the years ended December 31 are provided below: For the year ended In millions 2023 2022 2021 Domestic $ 506 $ 372 $ 253 Foreign 586 482 484 Income before income taxes $ 1,092 $ 854 $ 737 The consolidated provision for income taxes included in the Consolidated Statements of Income consisted of the following: For the year ended In millions 2023 2022 2021 Current tax expense (benefit) Federal $ 148 $ 37 $ (81) State 29 3 27 Foreign 148 137 138 325 177 84 Deferred tax (benefit) expense Federal (50) 29 87 State 1 — 10 Foreign (9) 7 (9) (58) 36 88 Total provision $ 267 $ 213 $ 172 A reconciliation of the United States federal statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate on operations for the years ended December 31 is provided below: For the year ended In millions 2023 2022 2021 U.S. federal statutory rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State taxes 1.5 2.0 0.3 Foreign 2.0 3.8 3.3 Research and development credit (0.6) (0.8) (0.8) Non-taxable gain on acquisition (0.8) — — U.S. net operating loss carryback — — (3.4) Changes in valuation allowances 1.0 (2.0) 3.0 U.S. tax reform provision 0.6 0.1 0.7 Other, net (0.2) 0.9 (0.9) Effective rate 24.5 % 25.0 % 23.2 % The decrease in effective tax rate from 2022 to 2023 was primarily due to a change in mix of foreign earnings, changes in valuation allowances, and the non-taxable gain generated on the acquisition of LKZ. The increase in effective tax rate from 2021 to 2022 was primarily due to the absence of benefit from amended federal and state income tax returns that were filed in 2021 and higher foreign taxes, partially offset by the change in valuation allowance. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law. This act includes a new book minimum tax on certain large corporations and an excise tax on corporate stock buybacks among other provisions. At this time, the Company does not believe the act will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Components of deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows: December 31, In millions 2023 2022 Deferred income tax assets: Accrued expenses and reserves $ 50 $ 39 Warranty reserve 49 49 Deferred compensation/employee benefits 77 61 Right-of-use assets 78 74 Pension and postretirement obligations 16 19 Inventory 49 49 Deferred revenue 84 52 Net operating loss carry forwards 124 102 Other 51 37 Gross deferred income tax assets 578 482 Less: Valuation allowance (58) (46) Total deferred income tax assets 520 436 Deferred income tax liabilities: Property, plant & equipment 64 78 Right-of-use liabilities 75 72 Intangible assets 610 542 Total deferred income tax liabilities 749 692 Net deferred income tax liability $ 229 $ 256 A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2023, the valuation allowance for certain deferred tax asset carryforwards was $58 million, primarily in the United States, South Africa, China, the Netherlands, and Denmark. The increase in valuation allowances in 2023 is primarily related to state net operating loss carry-forwards that are not expected to be realized. The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards in the amount of $430 million, of which $228 million are indefinite lived, $90 million expire within ten years and $112 million expire in various periods between December 31, 2034 to December 31, 2043. As of December 31, 2023, the liability for income taxes associated with unrecognized tax benefits was $40 million, of which $27 million, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate. As of December 31, 2022, the liability for income taxes associated with unrecognized tax benefits was $33 million, of which $20 million, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the gross liability for income taxes associated with unrecognized tax benefits follows: In millions 2023 2022 2021 Balance at beginning of year $ 33 $ 32 $ 16 Unrecognized tax benefits in prior periods 13 1 19 Audit settlement during year (5) — (1) Expiration of audit statute of limitations (1) — (2) Balance at end of year $ 40 $ 33 $ 32 The Company includes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the total interest and penalties accrued was approximately $13 million and $5 million, respectively. An audit of Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for years 2017-2019 is ongoing and select state and non-U.S. income tax audits are also underway. With limited exception, the Company is no longer subject to examination by various U.S. and foreign taxing authorities for years before 2018. At this time, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $17 million may change within the next 12 months due to the expiration of statutory review periods and current examinations. |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS As of December 31, 2023, the Company maintains employee stock-based compensation plans for stock options, restricted stock, and incentive stock units as governed by the 2011 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended and restated (the “2011 Plan”) and the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2000 Plan”). The 2011 Plan has a term through May 10, 2027, and as of December 31, 2023, the number of shares available for future grants under the 2011 Plan was approximately 4.9 million shares. The Company also maintains a 1995 Non-Employee Directors’ Fee and Stock Option Plan as amended and restated (“the Directors Plan”). The Directors Plan, as amended, authorizes a total of 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued. Under the Directors Plan, options issued become exercisable over a three-year vesting period and expire ten years from the date of grant, and restricted stock issued under the plan vests one year from the date of grant. The amount of restricted stock issued to non-employee directors as compensation for directors’ fees was as follows: 14,856 shares for 2023; 14,269 shares for 2022; and 18,142 shares for 2021. The total number of shares issued under the Directors Plan as of December 31, 2023 was approximately 1.0 million shares. Stock-based compensation expense for all of the plans was $59 million, $49 million and $46 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Associated tax benefits related to the stock-based compensation plans for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were not material. Included in the stock-based compensation expense for 2023 above is $23 million of expense related to non-vested restricted stock, $22 million of expense related to incentive stock units, $12 million related to restricted stock units, $1 million related to stock options, and $1 million related to units issued for Directors’ fees. The restricted stock units are liability-classified equity awards as they can be settled in cash. At December 31, 2023, unamortized compensation expense related to those stock options, non-vested restricted shares and incentive stock units expected to vest totaled $52 million and will be recognized over a weighted period of 1.4 years. Stock Options Stock options are granted to eligible employees and directors at fair market value, which is the average of the high and low Wabtec stock price on the date of grant. Under the 2011 Plan and the 2000 Plan, options become exercisable over a three year vesting period and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity and related information for the years ended December 31. There were no stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022. Options Weighted Weighted Average Aggregate Outstanding at December 31, 2020 552,669 $ 69.82 6.1 $ 4 Granted 126,794 $ 81.21 Exercised (113,728) $ 50.38 Canceled (33,820) $ 73.53 Outstanding at December 31, 2021 531,915 $ 75.40 6.5 $ 9 Exercised (116,590) $ 68.57 Canceled (15,387) $ 77.10 Outstanding at December 31, 2022 399,938 $ 77.32 5.9 $ 11 Exercised (87,035) $ 74.49 Canceled (3,078) $ 79.04 Outstanding at December 31, 2023 309,825 $ 78.41 5.3 $ 15 Exercisable at December 31, 2023 275,198 $ 78.06 5.3 $ 13 Options outstanding at December 31, 2023 were as follows: Range of Exercise Prices Number of Options Outstanding Weighted Average Exercise Price of Options Outstanding Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life Number of Options Currently Exercisable Weighted Average Exercise Price of Options Currently Exercisable 50.00 - 65.00 27,595 $ 61.51 2.9 27,595 $ 61.51 65.00 - 80.00 131,568 $ 75.03 5.6 131,568 $ 75.03 Over 80.00 150,662 $ 84.46 5.5 116,035 $ 85.43 309,825 $ 78.41 5.3 275,198 $ 78.06 Restricted Stock and Incentive Stock As provided for under the 2011 and 2000 Plans, eligible employees are granted restricted stock that generally vests over three years from the date of grant. Under the Directors Plan, restricted stock awards vest one year from the date of grant. In addition, the Company has issued incentive stock units to eligible employees that vest upon attainment of certain cumulative three-year performance goals, including a Relative Total Stockholder Return (RTSR) modifier. The RTSR can modify the payment up or down by 10%. Significant judgments and estimates are used in determining the estimated three-year performance, which is then used to estimate the total shares expected to vest over the three year vesting cycle and corresponding expense based on the grant date fair value of the award. When determining the estimated three-year performance, the Company utilizes a combination of historical actual results, budgeted results and forecasts. Upon the initial grant of a performance cycle, the Company estimates the three-year performance at 100%. Quarterly, the Company reviews and updates performance estimates based on actual performance results and current projections. Based on the Company’s performance for each three year period then ended, the incentive stock units can vest and be awarded ranging from 0% to 200% of the initial incentive stock units granted. The incentive stock units included in the table below represent the number of shares that are expected to vest based on the Company’s estimate for meeting those established performance targets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company estimates that it will achieve 145%, 139% and 116% for the incentive stock awards expected to vest, inclusive of the RTSR modifier, based on the estimated performance for the three year periods ending December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively, and has recorded incentive compensation expense accordingly. If estimates of the number of these stock units expected to vest changes in a future accounting period, cumulative compensation expense could increase or decrease and will be recognized in the current period for the elapsed portion of the vesting period and would change future expense for the remaining vesting period. Compensation expense for the non-vested restricted stock and incentive stock units is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and recognized over the applicable vesting period. Expense for incentive stock units is updated as necessary based on the Company's performance. The following table summarizes the restricted stock and incentive stock units activity and related information for the years ended December 31: Restricted Incentive Weighted Outstanding at December 31, 2020 656,006 270,645 $ 73.80 Granted 235,902 241,467 $ 81.64 Vested (350,955) (37,672) $ 71.82 Adjustment for incentive stock awards expected to vest — 180,767 $ 76.26 Canceled (33,255) (48,106) $ 76.24 Outstanding at December 31, 2021 507,698 607,101 $ 78.06 Granted 460,841 176,657 $ 91.19 Vested (234,597) (43,039) $ 75.14 Adjustment for incentive stock awards expected to vest — 45,301 $ 84.55 Canceled (44,522) (41,176) $ 76.84 Outstanding at December 31, 2022 689,420 744,844 $ 84.73 Granted 368,209 192,751 $ 104.70 Vested (262,339) (265,678) $ 81.00 Adjustment for incentive stock awards expected to vest — 31,011 $ 88.02 Canceled (34,721) (10,196) $ 93.44 Outstanding at December 31, 2023 760,569 692,732 $ 93.65 |

Leases [Abstract] | |
LEASES | LEASES The Company leases certain property, buildings and equipment. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments. Many of the Company's leases include rental escalation clauses, renewal options, and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease payments when appropriate. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components. Operating lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $64 million, $60 million, and $59 million, respectively. During 2023 and 2022, new operating leases of $37 million and $80 million, respectively, were added during the year. As most of the Company's leases do not provide a readily stated discount rate, the Company must estimate the rate to discount lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate. Wabtec does not have material financing leases, short-term or variable leases or sublease income. Scheduled payments of operating lease liabilities are as follows: In millions Operating Leases 2024 $ 61 2025 54 2026 48 2027 37 2028 27 Thereafter 114 Total lease payments 341 Less: Present value discount (28) Present value lease liabilities $ 313 The following table summarizes the remaining lease term and discount rate assumptions used to develop the present value of operating lease liabilities: December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Weighted-average remaining lease term (years) 7.8 8.3 Weighted-average discount rate 2.4 % 2.3 % |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and explains the related disclosure requirements. ASC 820 indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability and defines fair value based upon an exit price model. Valuation Hierarchy. ASC 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and are considered Level 1 on the fair value valuation hierarchy. The fair value of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximated the carrying value at December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Senior Notes are considered Level 2 based on the fair value valuation hierarchy. Contingent consideration related to the GE Transportation acquisition is considered Level 3 based on the fair value valuation hierarchy. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, $42 million and $105 million, respectively, were classified as "Other accrued liabilities" and at December 31, 2022, $47 million was included within long-term liabilities shown as "Contingent consideration" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value approximates the carrying value at December 31, 2023 and 2022. Hedging Activities In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to market risks related to interest rates, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial position. At times, we limit these risks through the use of derivatives such as cross-currency swaps, foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, commodity swaps and options. These hedging contracts are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2. In accordance with our policy, derivatives are only used for hedging purposes. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk The Company uses forward contracts to hedge forecasted foreign currency denominated sales of finished goods and future settlement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. Derivatives used to hedge firm commitments relevant to sales and purchases and forecasted transactions to be realized with high probability that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of gains and losses is deferred as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss and is recognized in earnings at the time the hedged item affects earnings, in the same line item as the underlying hedged item. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the amounts reclassified into income were not material. The Company has also established balance sheet risk management and net investment hedging programs to protect its balance sheet against foreign currency exchange rate volatility. We conduct our business worldwide in U.S. dollars and the functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries, including euro, Indian rupee, British pound sterling, Australian dollars and several other foreign currencies. Changes in these foreign currency exchange rates could have a material adverse impact on our financial results that are reported in U.S. dollars. We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our foreign subsidiaries, including intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies. We hedge these exposures using foreign currency swap contracts and cross-currency swaps to offset the potential income statement effects on intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies. These programs reduce but do not eliminate foreign currency exchange rate risk entirely. The Company enters into certain derivative contracts in accordance with its risk management strategy that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, but which have the impact of largely mitigating foreign currency exposure. These foreign exchange contracts are accounted for on a full mark-to-market basis through earnings, with gains and losses recorded as a component of Other income, net. The net gains and losses related to these contracts were not material for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. These contracts typically mature within one year. Interest Rate Risk The Company may use interest rate hedge contracts on certain investing and borrowing transactions to manage its net exposure to interest rate changes and to manage its overall cost of borrowing. Accordingly, the Company has entered into interest rate hedges to manage interest rate risk for a portion of future expected debt transactions. The Company does not use leveraged swaps and, in general, does not leverage any of its investment activities that would put principal capital at risk. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the amounts reclassified into income were not material. Commodity Price Risk The Company may use commodity forward swaps to manage its exposure to commodity price changes and to reduce its overall cost of manufacturing. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the amounts reclassified into income were not material. The following table summarizes the assets, liabilities, gross notional amounts, fair values, and fair value hierarchy classification of the designated and non-designated hedges discussed in the above sections as of December 31, 2023, which are included in Other current assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets: Fair Value Gross Notional Amount In millions Level Designated Non-Designated Designated Non-Designated Foreign Exchange Contracts Other current assets 2 $ 6 $ 3 $ 319 $ 110 Other current liabilities 2 (12) (3) 655 200 Interest Rate Contracts Other current assets 2 10 — 250 — Total $ 4 $ — $ 1,224 $ 310 The following table summarizes the assets, liabilities, gross notional amounts, fair values, and fair value hierarchy classification of the designated and non-designated hedges discussed in the above sections as of December 31, 2022, which are included in other current assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets: Fair Value Gross Notional Amount In millions Level Designated Non-Designated Designated Non-Designated Foreign Exchange Contracts Other current assets 2 $ 8 $ 3 $ 278 $ 156 Other current liabilities 2 (11) (3) 769 152 Total $ (3) $ — $ 1,047 $ 308 |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations governing discharges to air and water, the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous or solid waste materials and the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances. The Company believes its operations currently comply in all material respects with all of the various environmental laws and regulations applicable to our business; however, there can be no assurance that environmental requirements will not change in the future or that we will not incur significant costs to comply with such requirements. Claims have been filed against the Company and certain of its affiliates in various jurisdictions across the United States by persons alleging bodily injury as a result of exposure to asbestos-containing products. The vast majority of the claims are submitted to insurance carriers for defense and indemnity, or to non-affiliated companies that retain the liabilities for the asbestos-containing products at issue. We cannot, however, assure that all of these claims will be fully covered by insurance, or that the indemnitors or insurers will remain financially viable. Our ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these claims, as is the case with other pending litigation, cannot be estimated. A limited number of claims are not covered by insurance, nor are they subject to indemnity from non-affiliated parties. Management believes that the costs of the Company’s asbestos-related cases will not be material to the Company’s overall financial position, results of operations and cash flows. During the third quarter of 2023, a competitor of the Company, Progress Rail (“Progress”), which is a Caterpillar Inc. company, sued the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting antitrust, breach of contract, unfair competition law, and misrepresentation claims. The complaint challenges the Wabtec-GE Transportation merger and contends that since the merger, Wabtec has unlawfully monopolized the markets for long-haul freight locomotives, Tier IV long-haul freight locomotives, and energy management systems by, among other things, failing to ensure that Progress’ products are interoperable with Wabtec’s locomotives and cab electronics. The case is currently at an early stage. Progress seeks an order requiring Wabtec to divest GE Transportation, unspecified treble damages for its alleged lost profits from reduced sales of locomotive and cab systems, and attorneys’ fees and costs. It also asks the court to enjoin Wabtec from engaging in the conduct and require the Company to comply with its agreements with Progress. Wabtec intends to vigorously defend itself against this lawsuit and believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted by Progress. Xorail, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Xorail”), has received notices from Denver Transit Constructors (“DTC”) alleging breach of contract related to the operating of constant warning wireless crossings, and late delivery of the Train Management & Dispatch System (“TMDS”) for the Denver Eagle P3 Project, which is owned by the Denver Regional Transit District ("RTD"). No damages have been asserted for the alleged late delivery of the TMDS, and no formal claim has been filed; Xorail has successfully completed a remediation plan concerning the TMDS issues. With regard to the wireless crossing issue, as of September 8, 2017, DTC alleged that total damages were $37 million through July 31, 2017 and were continuing to accumulate. The majority of the damages stems from a delay in approval of the wireless crossing system by the Federal Railway Administration ("FRA") and the Public Utility Commission ("PUC"), resulting in the use of flaggers at all of the crossings pending approval of the wireless crossing system and certification of the crossings. DTC has alleged that the delay is due to Xorail's failure to achieve constant warning times for the crossings in accordance with the approval requirements imposed by the FRA and PUC. Xorail has denied DTC's assertions, stating that its system satisfied the contractual requirements. Xorail has worked with DTC to modify its system and implement the FRA's and PUC's previously undefined approval requirements; the FRA and PUC have both approved modified wireless crossing system, and as of August 2018, DTC completed the process of certifying the crossings and eliminated the use of flaggers. DTC has not updated its claim notices or alleged damages against Xorail, nor have they filed any formal claim against Xorail. On September 21, 2018, DTC filed a complaint against RTD in Colorado state court for breach of contract related to non-payments and the costs for the flaggers, asserting a change-in-law arising from the FRA/PUC’s new certification requirements. DTC's claim against RTD proceeded to trial on September 21, 2020. On February 10, 2023, the court issued a decision in favor of RTD, denying DTC's damages claim. DTC has filed a Notice of Appeal. From time to time the Company is involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the ordinary course of business. As of the date hereof, the Company is involved in no litigation that the Company believes will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries that it controls. For consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company's ownership is less than 100%, the outside shareholders' interests are shown as noncontrolling interests. These statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Sales between subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation. |
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash includes cash held in escrow that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage. |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is predominantly determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory costs include material, labor and overhead. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment additions are stated at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The Company computes book depreciation principally on the straight-line method. Accelerated depreciation methods are utilized for income tax purposes. |
Leasing Arrangements | Leasing Arrangements |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite |
Equity Method Investments | Equity Method Investments |
Depreciation Expense | Depreciation Expense Depreciation of property, plant and equipment related to the manufacturing of products or services provided is included in Cost of goods or Cost of services. Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment that is not attributable to the manufacturing of products or services provided is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses or Engineering expense to the extent the property, plant, and equipment is used for research and development purposes. |
Warranty Costs | Warranty Costs Warranty costs are accrued based on management’s estimates of repair or upgrade costs per unit and historical experience. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws. The provision for income taxes includes federal, state and foreign income taxes. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation based on the grant date fair value recognized ratably over the requisite service period following the date of grant. Compensation expense for incentive stock units is updated as necessary if the number of units expected to vest changes based on the Company's performance. |
Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities | Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to interest rate, commodity price and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. At times, the Company limits these risks through the use of derivatives such as cross-currency swaps, foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, commodity swaps and options. In accordance with the Company's policy, derivatives are only used for hedging purposes. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Foreign currency forward contracts are agreements with a counterparty to exchange two distinct currencies at a set exchange rate for delivery on a set date at some point in the future. At the delivery date, the Company can either take delivery of the currency or settle on a net basis. For further information regarding the foreign currency forward contracts see Note 17. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation Certain of our international operations have determined that the local currency is the functional currency whereas others have determined the U.S. dollar is their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is the local currency are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date while income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions and the translation of financial statements are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements based upon the provisions of ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters.” The effects of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions and balances of a long-term investment nature are accumulated and carried as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The effects of currency exchange rate changes on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are charged or credited to earnings. Realized gains and losses related to foreign currency exchange are recognized in Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. |
Noncontrolling Interests | Noncontrolling Interests |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for Revenue under ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized and requires entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. A majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time when control passes to the customer which is generally at the time of shipment in accordance with agreed upon delivery terms. The remaining revenues are earned over time. All fees billed to the customer for shipping and handling are classified as a component of Net sales. All costs associated with shipping and handling are classified as a component of Cost of sales. The Company also has long-term customer agreements involving the design and production of highly engineered products that require revenue to be recognized over time because these products have no alternative use without significant economic loss, and the agreements contain an enforceable right to payment including a reasonable profit margin from the customer in the event of contract termination. Additionally, the Company has customer agreements involving the creation or enhancement of an asset that the customer controls which also require revenue to be recognized over time. Generally, the Company uses an input method for determining the amount of revenue, cost and gross margin to recognize over time for these customer agreements. The input method used for these agreements recognizes revenue based on our efforts to satisfy the performance obligation and includes costs of material and labor, both of which give an accurate representation of the progress made toward complete satisfaction of a particular performance obligation. The Company may also use the output method which recognizes revenue based on direct measurements of the value transferred to the customer. Contract revenues and cost estimates are reviewed and revised periodically throughout the year and adjustments are reflected in the accounting period as such amounts are determined. Additional information with respect to contract assets and liabilities is included in Note 8. Due to the nature of work required to be performed on the Company’s long-term projects, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. Contract estimates related to long-term projects are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that could span several years. These assumptions include cost of materials; labor availability and productivity; complexity of the work to be performed; and the performance of suppliers, customers and subcontractors that may be associated with the contract. We have a disciplined process where management reviews the progress of long term-projects periodically throughout the year. As part of this process, management reviews information including key contract matters, progress towards completion, identified risks and opportunities and any other information that could impact the Company’s estimates of revenue and costs. After completing this analysis, any adjustments to net sales, cost of goods sold, and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. Generally, the Company’s revenue contains a single performance obligation for each distinct good or service; however, a single contract may have multiple performance obligations comprising multiple promises to customers. When there are multiple performance obligations, revenue is allocated based on the relative stand-alone selling price. Pricing is defined in our contracts on a line item basis and includes an estimate of variable consideration when required by the terms of the individual customer contract. Types of variable consideration the Company typically has include volume discounts, prompt payment discounts, price escalation clauses, liquidating damages, and performance bonuses. Sales returns and allowances are also estimated and recognized in the same period the related revenue is recognized, based upon the Company’s experience and future expectations. |
Revolving Receivables Program | Revolving Receivables Program The Company utilizes a revolving facility to sell certain receivables of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Originators"). The Originators contribute receivables to our bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, which sells the receivables to a financial institution on a recurring basis in exchange for cash equal to the gross receivables sold. The bankruptcy remote subsidiary is a separate legal entity with its own creditors, and its assets are not available to pay creditors of the Company or any other affiliates of the Company. As customers pay their balances, we transfer additional receivables into the program, which could result in our gross receivables sold being higher or lower than customer collections remitted to the financial institution for any applicable period. The sold receivables are fully guaranteed by our bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, which holds additional receivables that are pledged as collateral under this facility. The Company has agreed to guarantee the performance of the Originators respective obligations under the revolving agreement. Neither the Company (except for the bankruptcy-remote consolidated subsidiary referenced above) nor the Originators guarantees the collectability of the receivables under the revolving agreements. |

Significant Customers and Concentrations of Credit Risk | Significant Customers and Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company’s trade receivables are primarily from rail and transit industry original equipment manufacturers, Class I railroads, railroad carriers and commercial companies that utilize rail cars in their operations, such as utility and chemical companies, as well as companies in the mining, marine and industrial markets. No one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in the periods presented. |
