Special vehicles and working locomotives
For local transport companies (underground, suburban trains, or trams), the boundary conditions are very individual. In addition to the vehicles for passenger transport, locomotives or special vehicles are required for the construction and maintenance of the infrastructure or for towing broken trains.
The locomotives must be adapted to the specific requirements and admission criteria of the respective transport companies in terms of track width, boundary profile, coupling, train protection and power supply.
Vehicle concepts with different axle sequences and cab arrangements are implemented according to customer requirements.
Energy sources include overhead lines, conductor rails, diesel engines or accumulators. Multi-system vehicles with combinations of energy sources can also be realized.
The power transmission of the vehicles can be either hydrodynamic, hydrostatic, or electric.
