Resumo

Over three years, MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH ran trials with its Hybrid Powerpack, logging 15,000 km to verify its reliability and readiness for everyday operation. Result: MTU Hybrid technology is ready for the market. On local routes in particular, MTU’s advanced rail drive system offers considerable potential for increasing economic efficiency and reducing emissions in rail transport. In purely electric drive mode in particular, hybrid technology enables emission-free local travel in urban areas, underground stations and tunnels. In addition, the combination of electric drive and diesel engine helps keep trains on time and makes it easier to make up for delays.
