MTU's knowhow in systems for rail traction encompasses the entire range of plant arrangements - whether for underfloor installation or engine room installation - and related technical solutions. Engines, transmissions, train electric power supply and electronic equipment operate smoothly together and with other system components to form a tailor-made unity displaying uniform degrees of maturity and reliability.

This is of particular importance to the modern railway applications where close links between the individual subsystems, with their strong impact on the train's overall performance and efficiency, demand careful equipment selection and layout.
