Reliable traction power supply for air conditioning systems and onboard networks
Cat engines for comfort and safety in passenger trains
Our powerful Cat engines are ideal for traction power supply on non-electrified tracks. These engines reliably provide energy for passenger trains, covering the power requirements for air conditioning, lighting, and safety-related systems.
Our solutions are tailored to meet the challenges of modern train power systems. They comply with stringent emissions standards, minimize noise levels, and allow for space-saving integration, even in confined installation spaces. With a clear focus on reliability, ease of maintenance, and efficiency, Cat engines ensure passenger comfort and safety – even during longer stays or in remote regions.
