Voith receives a four-year service contract for automatic transmissions

  • Voith won the tender for a four-year service contract for automatic transmissions of the municipal bus fleet in Lorient, France.
  • Apart from repairing and replacing its own DIWA.5 automatic transmissions, Voith will also supply replacement gearboxes from other manufacturers.
  • The short delivery time for replacement and repair gearboxes was a decisive factor when placing the order.

NOISY-LE-GRAND/LORIENT, FRANCE. In November 2020, Voith won the tender for a four-year service contract from the French operating company RATP Dev. The contract covers gearbox repairs and the delivery of replacement gearboxes for the bus fleet of the municipal transport company CTRL (Compagnie des Transports de la Région Lorientaise) in Lorient. Apart from repairing and replacing its own DIWA.5 automatic transmissions, Voith will also supply replacement gearboxes from other manufacturers. The budget for the order is EUR 360,000 over four years. The short delivery time for replacement and repair gearboxes was a decisive factor when placing the order. For a preventive overhaul, Voith offers high-quality replacement gearboxes and components for the central gearbox assemblies. This reduces bus downtimes, which in turn reduces the costs of repair and overhaul.
