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.

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.

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.

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.
