Our new drive concept allows the machine to be powered either via a diesel engine or via an electric motor using the electrical energy of the contact wire.

The solution we are offering is a new drive concept: it allows the machine to be powered either via a diesel engine or via an electric motor using the electrical energy of the contact wire. This applies to both, travelling and working. As a result, the local CO2 emission is nearly zero and in connection with the extensive noise protection measures our customers are enabled to meet the ecological framework conditions for infrastructure maintenance.

The drive concept of the machine includes a diesel engine similar to those used so far, plus an additional electric motor for power supply via the overhead line. The electric components have been purchased from renowned manufacturers. We did not compromise on quality. The control system has been developed by Plasser & Theurer. This was pioneering work as this was the first track maintenance machine of this output category to be fitted with this drive system.
