Streamlining Europe: Our Company's Multifunctional Train Linking People and Cargo Throughout the Continent
Revised Article:
Let's chat 'bout our home- sliced locomotives connectin' Europe, yo!
From the birth of Europe's first railway line in 1835, linkin' Tourcoing and Mouscron, to now, our locomotives cross eight countries like a boss, linkin' France to Poland, rulin' passenger and freight transport across the continent.
Rockin' Multisystem Electricity
One problem with cross-border rail: different electrification norms and standards. Our solution? Traxx UniversalTM, a four-axle, badass locomotive platform known for its modularity, reliability, and high-performance. It comes in variants for single or multiple-country applications, offers various catenary voltages, and pulls heavy-Loaded gigs as it rolls along at 200 km/h.
Traxx can dude, with 'Last Mile' functionality, travelin' beyond electrification networks to terminals, ports, shunting yards, and more without needin' external power. This catenary-free solution works great on any type of mainline locomotive—multisystem, AC, or DC.
A Killer Signal Boost
Another challenge? European countries got their own signalling systems. Say hello to our OnviaTM system, formerly known as AtlasTM, a stable ETCS signalling solution for cross-border operations that plays nice with all them interoperability standards.
Onvia CabTM, our onboard ETCS signalling system, can be installed on a variety of locomotives, EMUs, and DMUs. It saves space, achieves high integration with fewer hardware components, and meets the latest ETCS requirements to ensure denser train sequences, higher safety, and potential automation upgrades.
Complyin' with Baseline 3 standard, this system lets trains switch between different signalling systems automatically, significantly reducin' prolonged border stops.
Operatin' in Tip-Top Shape
The right locomotives? Check. The right signalling systems? Check. Now, let's make sure the locomotives run great across Europe. We offer a comprehensive suite of locomotive services, including routine maintenance, major overhauls and digitalized maintenance procedures. With depots and maintenance facilities all over Europe, we support long-haul cross-border operations to ensure the highest fleet availability for our customers.
We've spent years sharin' our expertise in designin' the third-generation Traxx mainline locomotive platform to meet serviceability requirements. This expertise shows in the vehicle's modular design, makin' maintenance a breeze with quick upgrades and component replacements.
A prime example? The initial maintenance intervals for Traxx locomotives, bumped from 10,000 km to optimized 40,000 km, for less maintenance stops. This enhancement boosts locomotive availability for smooth cross-border operations across Europe. Plus, we've extended overhaul mileage intervals by 25%, ensurin' critical components stay in top-notch condition with no compromise on reliability, thanks to remote monitoring and diagnostics support.
Digitalized locomotive maintenance? Check. Our HealthHubTM solution uses advanced AI algorithms to predict and solve issues before they occur, while also monitorin' actual locomotive conditions. We've also digitalized parts sourcin' for over 15,000 Traxx locomotive spare parts available through our online marketplace, StationOneTM.
A Seamless Cross-Border Experience
Our triple-threat approach of provide-win-win locomotives, signallin', and services? It's workin' like a charm. Traxx Universal ain't only for cross-border riders; we recently delivered a batch of locomotives for Mercitalia with Last Mile functionalities and DC capabilities tailored to the Italian market.
We've also signed several frame agreements with key rail operators and lessors, like CFL, Northrail, Akiem, Railpool, and others, for future operations on the French corridor.
Traxx Universal locomotives? Powerful, adaptive, and tailor-made to torch through electrification and signalling challenges across Europe. Whether intra-national or cross-border, it's all about the know-how, fam. From our customized rolling stock solutions to cutting-edge signalling technologies and full-service support, we're keepin' Europe's rail corridors rollin' smooth.
Key Point: Traxx Universal locomotives, our all-in-one electrification and signalling solution, tackle cross-border rail problems by offering multisystem compatibility and integration of multiple signalling standards. This results in seamless and efficient railway operations throughout Europe.
- The Traxx UniversalTM locomotive, our innovative platform, addresses the challenge of different electrification norms and standards in cross-border rail by offering multisystem compatibility.
- In the finance industry, we've signed several frame agreements with key rail operators and lessors for future operations on the French corridor, demonstrating our commitment to the transportation sector.
- Our OnviaTM system, a stable ETCS signalling solution for cross-border operations, meets the latest ETCS requirements and integrates well with various interoperability standards, ensuring denser train sequences and higher safety.
- The With digitalized locomotive maintenance solutions like HealthHubTM and StationOneTM, we're predicting and solving issues before they occur, leading to less maintenance for our Traxx locomotives and improved cross-border efficiency.
