MTU traction systems for new trains:

Solutions for the future.
MTU traction systems represent the state of the
art in terms of railway train technology.
And that means for any type of application. Which
is why they are the first choice for locomotives
and railcars and offer a multiplicity of specific
benefits and advantages:

>

Low maintenance expenditure

Maximum compatibility with a large number of
components
Large and finely differentiated range of power
outputs from 564 to 2,700 kW
Matched, up-to-date and economical components
Standardized interfaces, individually adapted if
required
Complete engineering solutions for groundbreaking locomotive concepts

>
>

Professional handling of complex projects and

tenders
Many decades of experience as supplier
to railways all over the world
Experience of all climatic zones and types of
application
Individual design of complete traction systems

MTU repowering solutions:

As good as new.
Refitting existing locomotives with modern diesel
engines is often the economical alternative to
the procurement of new stock.
In order to find the best solution for your particular modernization project, we offer you comprehensive engineering support from planning and projection right through to installation
checking and commissioning.
Whatever the specifics of the existing design, in
virtually every case we can deliver trouble-free
integration of the new engine into the existing
environment and optimum adaptation to the
available interfaces. That is because of our extensive experience of locomotive repowering and
the flexible and intelligent basic design of MTU
engines with their

compact dimensions
adaptable electronics
versatile design
wide choice of interface solutions

Repowering offers you a large number of benefits

including:

>

Substantially lower investment costs than for

the procurement of a new locomotive

>

Availability of repowered locomotives raised

to level of new stock

>

The use of a modern MTU engine providing

lower running and maintenance costs and
greater efficiency

Better performance at lower cost

Support with interface optimization
Construction of the general design

We are more than reliable suppliers. We are

your provider for complete system solutions.
If you require, we can provide project support
right from the outset from the design and specification phases through to the installation phase.
In that way, we can bring in our experience and
system engineering expertise to bear on the
project at an early stage and develop a truly optimized traction system concept that is precisely
suited to the locomotive and duty profile concerned and which integrates all necessary subsystems in the best possible way.
But our commitment to you does not end with the
commissioning of your MTU system.
As a system provider, we feel we have a responsibility to you over the entire service life of the
product. Long-term optimum care of your
en-gines by MTU guarantees you the availability,
reliability and economy you demand.
Our experienced and highly qualified technicians
are there to help you and provide the service you
need.

MTU system engineering

for diesel traction in railway locomotives.
We design and deliver individually tailored complete solutions to suit every requirement.
The centerpiece of the system is always the engine. There are good reasons why MTU diesel
engines are the best choice of primary component for railway locomotive traction systems:

>

>

>

Advanced environmental technology

low consumption, exhaust emissions and
noise levels; compliance with the strictest
standards (EURO II / III, UIC II)
Space-saving and low-vibration design
for maximum comfort and outstanding
smoothness
Maximum economy:
long service life and low operating costs

>

Exceptional reliability and availability

throughout service life

>

Highest quality standards

for all products and services

>

>

>

Extensive product range:

individual solutions for any application and
duty profile
Product and customer support
right from the start and throughout the service
life of the engine
Worldwide service and support network

Because of their highly versatile system design,

our engines are suitable for diesel-electric and
diesel-hydraulic applications.
The wide range of individually matched accessories naturally mirror the quality standards of the
basic engine and facilitate adaptability to all interfaces and the implementation of specialized functions.
