Compact, Complete And Efficient: MTU PowerPacks® for Railcars

With our expertise as a systems supplier – one that offers complete drive technology for your railcars from a single source – we can easily adjust our complete, highly compact systems, including automation, to your individual needs. Integration into the vehicle and expansion of maintenance goals are quick and easy with our Plug & Play configuration.

MTU PowerPacks® with Series 1800 and 1600 are innovative and complete drive systems that combine all drive components within a single operational unit in one supporting frame. They were designed specifically for underfloor and roof installation and are notable for their particularly flat, compact construction. That way every MTU PowerPack® can be individually configured. MTU offers solutions for diesel-electric, diesel-mechanical, and diesel-hydraulic power transmission.
