Driving success
S
peed and punctuality – these are most important demands
placed on train connections. That is why MTU diesel engines are amongst the preferred drives for railway vehicles on non-electrified routes.
They fulfil all the criteria of demand- ing rail companies, with high per- formance and reliability, low weight and compact build, running smooth- ness and low noise emissions.
MTU drive systems for route and multipurpose locomotives must meet the widest variety of operat- ing conditions, and they are cus- tom designed to do so. They prove themselves on every continent over thousands of kilometres of railway: in heavy freight-train operation,
at high speeds in passenger trains, in industrial locomotives, and in switching with its several load changes and high duty cycles with low demand.
The company has systems expertise for optimal drive solutions, decades of proven maximum reliability and availability and low life-cycle costs due to long maintenance intervals.
It also has maintenance-friendly concepts, and low specific consump- tion values, is environmentally friendly and has a worldwide service network and on-site assistance in the train depot for optimal support and minimal downtimes.

Effective friction, lower lifecycle costs F
ederal-Mogul’s Ferodo friction products provide reliable stops,
the company says. Its disc brake pads and brake block materials fea- ture on all types of trains including high-speed intercity trains, locomo- tives, trams and freight wagons.
The Ferodo team draws on Federal- Mogul’s worldwide engineering net- work, ensuring friction technology advances turn into better products for rail.
Federal-Mogul works with custom- ers to develop organic friction pair- ings for cast iron and steel brake discs. The company offers optimised block and wheel friction combina- tions, including a wide range of as- bestos-free organic blocks with L
and LL friction levels and K-blocks suitable for train, metro, locomotive and freight applications.
Ferodo’s high-quality grade organic brake pads provide low lifecycle costs for high-temperature appli- cations. They have excellent fric- tion stability with characteristics remaining stable over a wide range of temperatures, clamp forces, axle loads and speeds.
Ferodo’s material’s conformability reduces the formation of hotspots, improving the durability of the pads and discs.
