Railcars - We supply more than just powerful drive systems: Convenience is part of the experience.
The wave of privatizations among previously nationalized rail companies in the mid-nineties brought in its wake a distinct revitalization of short-haul and suburban travel using public transport which has seen a rise in demand for railcars powered by the very latest drive technology.
As an experienced specialist for rail drive systems, MTU is encouraging the concept of environmentally-friendy travel by developing engines which are not only out in front when it comes to reliability and economy but which are also setting the pace in the emissions field.
The MTU PowerPack® is an innovative drive system which integrates all of the individual components in a single unit mounted on a common frame. It has been specially developed for sub-floor installation and its shallow design is consequently very impressive. We are the only manufacturer to offer all three types of power transmission:
- diesel-electric
- diesel-mechanical
- diesel-hydraulic
Our product range also includes compact and powerful engines for engine compartment installation as well as for installation as single, sub-floor units.
