Locomotives & Push-Pull Trains - Our Drive means Your Success.
MTU drive systems for mainline and multi-purpose locomotives are precision-designed to cope with the the widest range of working conditions and their capabilities are put to the test every day in every continent of the world - whether it is in heavy-duty goods haulage, long-distance, high-speed passenger transport or in industrial locomotives and marshalling engines with rapidly fluctuating load cycles and long periods at low load.
Railroad passenger travel is also in tough competition with the airlines. With rail stations located centrally in large cities, short check-in times and a high level of passenger comfort, long and medium haul trains represent a real alternative to air travel.
On non-electrified routes, our reliable and powerful MTU diesel engines provide a solid platform for fast, dependable rail transport. Their low weight, compact design, smooth running and low noise emission levels make them the engine of choice for this type of rail vehicle.
