Het Europese goederenspoor opnieuw bekabelen voor een digitale toekomst
Naarmate de Europese goederenspoorsector zich ontwikkelt naar een meer verbonden toekomst, creëren digitale technologieën nieuwe mogelijkheden om de veiligheid, efficiëntie en betrouwbaarheid te verbeteren. Daniel Gradl, President of Brakes & Couplers bij Wabtec, onderzoekt hoe telematica, Digital Automatic Couplers (DAC), intelligente werfoperaties en samenwerking tussen de industrie bijdragen aan deze transformatie.
Verbeterde luchtkwaliteit voor de Parijse RER A-lijn
Op de RER A, de drukste lijn in de regio Parijs, onderneemt de RATP stappen om de luchtkwaliteit te verbeteren met Green Friction. Deze innovatieve remoplossing, ontwikkeld door Wabtec, helpt de uitstoot van deeltjes aanzienlijk te verminderen, wat echt een verschil maakt in ondergrondse en gesloten omgevingen waar dat het belangrijkst is.

Decarbonizing Global Transport
A Better Future: Our Shift to Green
Safer. Smarter. Cleaner. Greener.
Up to 30% Fuel & Emissions Savings
FLXdrive™ Battery Electric Locomotive
Over the last year, Wabtec took a bold step toward a low-to-zero-emission locomotive future with the world’s first heavy-haul 100-percent battery-electric locomotive – called FLXdrive™. The locomotive, powered by approximately 20,000 battery cells, was tested in revenue operation across more than 13,320 miles of hilly terrain in San Joaquin Valley, California.
Operating in a consist between two other locomotives and with a battery capacity of 2.4 megawatt hours, FLXdrive successfully reduced overall fuel consumption by more than 11 percent — the equivalent to over 6,200 gallons of diesel fuel saved and approximately 69 tons of CO2 emissions reduced.
The next version of FLXdrive is currently in development and expected to be ready for market in 2023. With a battery capacity of more than 7 megawatt hours, we anticipate further reducing fuel consumption and emissions by up to 30 percent.
Improving Air Quality
Next Generation Friction Technology
Wabtec’s Green Friction technology is the result of the Company’s expertise in friction materials and significant investments in the methodology of measuring the particles emitted during braking.
Over the past year, this technology has undergone rigorous testing with Paris region operator, RATP, and has proven its ability to reduce particle emissions from friction braking on metro trains by up to 90 percent. RATP and Wabtec have equipped two trains that operate on one of the busiest lines in Europe with this new technology for a final pilot. This technology represents a significant milestone on the journey towards cleaner tunnels for passengers and network personnel.
Increasing throughput & improving efficiency
Port Optimizer™
Wabtec is increasing port throughput and improving efficiency with Port Optimizer™, a cloud-based software initiative integrating data from across the port ecosystem. It helps the supply chain monitor and respond to dynamic conditions, align people and resources, and proactively communicate across functions – enabling maximum port throughput and delivery performance.
Not only does Port Optimizer™ improve efficiencies - it provides an opportunity for ports to differentiate themselves from their competitors. The timely sharing of accurate information about container moves, status changes, asset management, etc. across all port stakeholders is needed to better plan for operations. As a neutral party, Port Authorities can be the driving force to create a Digital Infrastructure for the collection, aggregation and standardization of data flowing through the port and to make that data readily available through APIs and various applications.
Reducing Port Emissions
ShoreCONNECT
Wabtec is reducing port emissions with ShoreCONNECT, a flexible onshore power supply solution that connects electrical power to vessels at port, eliminating the need to use diesel. It connects one vessel to shore power with up to 16 MVA high voltage, self-propelled, zero-emission vehicles.
ShoreCONNECT installations position ports to help address the required 40 percent reduction in CO2 emissions from ships by 2030 and support the local sulfur emission control area established in the Baltic region. In addition, ShoreCONNECT helps to reduce noise pollution in ports because the engines are turned off while the vessels are connected.
Improving Fuel Efficiency & Next-Generation Technology
The FDL Advantage
Wabtec has developed a fuel-saving engine upgrade package for its FDL locomotive platform as well as a complete control system replacement. The FDL Advantage modernization provides up to a five percent reduction in fuel consumption, which helps customers to achieve sustainability and operational efficiency goals.
In addition to addressing industry imperatives for improved fuel efficiency and reliability, the FDL Advantage introduces next-generation data and software capabilities positioning railroads for the future of transportation.
