Rolling stock manufacturing market account for ~70% turnover of the Rail Supply Industry in Europe.
Electric motors are a common means of powering a train, whether the energy required is carried on-board the train in the form of a diesel engine and its fuel or obtained from outside the train by connection with an external power supply carried by an overhead line or third rail. Electric traction is widely used around the world, particularly for routes with dense traffic, like urban and suburban railways or long distance, high speed lines that need electric traction to obtain the speeds required for inter-city travel.
Rolling stock market is currently generated revenue of € 38.5 Billion in 2020 and by 2025 it is estimated to € 43 Billion. Traction motor plays a major role in revenue generation in Metro, Medium speed rail, High speed rail and Diesel Locomotives.
Swedish government has adopted an infrastructure plan for 2018- 2029 with investment of €70 Billion and this is largest railway investment in modern times.
Germany has a legislative plan to double its number of rail passengers and shift more freight to the railways by the year 2030.
The proposed long-term budget for the EU for the period 2021-2027includes EUR 30.6 billion for the transport envelope of CEF (Connecting Europe Facility)
As trains operate at relatively high speeds. Therefore, the vehicle’s mass must be kept as low as possible to reduce wear of traction motor. Motor manufacturers will concentrate more on low Maintenance, Easy replacement, High-speed adoption and should produce low noise level.
PowerRail is delighted to provide a full variety of new and remanufactured traction motors, with standard and premium rebuilds in stock and ready to ship. Class Is, regional lines, short lines, and passenger transits across the United States, as well as overseas, have approved them.
PowerRail is an AAR M-1003 quality certified company with an experienced crew and high-quality workmanship. PowerRail’s engineering team completes entire product development, upgraded designs, and failure analysis using an OEM verification process and the SolidWorks CAD system.
In addition, PowerRail offers state-of-the-art, upgraded design BTR/axle bearing housing traction motor conversions if you’re searching for increased dependability, cheaper maintenance costs, and longer service intervals for your traction motor.
The majority of EMD and GE models can be converted. Eliminating brass support bearings and the wick assembly reduces maintenance and extends the life of the device.
PowerRail’s conversion to axle housing bearings, also known as ‘U-Tubes,’ offers an improved design with heavier wall thickness at the commutator end, sensor holes drilled and cable cleat supports pre-installed, in addition to all the benefits that come with upgrading your fleet with BTR traction motors.
A low-cost enhancement to improve the efficiency of three-phase traction motors has been developed by Toshiba Corp.
CRRC Times Electric has launched a new condition-based maintenance platform, which can facilitate intelligent operation and smart maintenance of urban rail networks and assets. Trials have taken place with traction motors, converters, high voltage components and running gear.
Talgo has unveiled a new modular hydrogen-powered propulsion system it could offer an emission-free alternative to diesel traction for non-electrified lines. The system employs hydrogen fuel cells to power the train’s traction motors, and is supported by auxiliary batteries designed to boost acceleration speeds, and which are recharged through regenerative braking.
The permanent magnet synchronous traction system is produced by CRRC Times Electric. This is the second application of the technology on metro trains in China. The permanent magnet synchronous traction system weighs less than conventional traction equipment, is more efficient and generates less noise.
