Modernization of light rail trains
Voith was commissioned to modernize 50 vehicles of Stuttgarter Straßenbahn AG. By replacing existing power electronics with new and reliable Voith systems, the availability of the trams will be significantly increased over their entire remaining service life.
Modern drive technology for Würzburg's demanding track profile
Starting in 2022, 18 new low-floor light rail vehicles will successively be put into operation in Würzburg. In addition to the traction and auxiliary operation systems and the diagnosis and monitoring system, Voith will also supply the vehicle control system. For the particularly tight curves of Würzburg's old town and the steep ascents in the surrounding districts, Voith's traction experts designed state-of-the-art technology, perfectly adapted to the specific characteristics of Würzburg’s route profile.
