Reliable Traction Power Supply for Non-Electrified Rail Tracks

Reduction of operating costs in traction power supply

Reducing life cycle costs (LCC) is a key requirement for modern train power supply systems. In addition to acquisition costs, the focus is primarily on long-term expenses for operation, maintenance, and repairs. Zeppelin Power Systems actively supports operators in optimizing these costs. Our Cat auxiliary diesel engines for rail are specifically designed to operate with maximum efficiency and reliability over extended periods.

By using advanced technologies, including optimized injection systems and modern engine management, we help minimize fuel consumption without compromising performance or reliability. Through detailed analyses of engine performance maps, we precisely determine the optimal operating point for each use case. This fine-tuning ensures that our engines always operate within the most efficient range, significantly reducing operating costs.

Technical detail engineering and innovative solutions for the highest demands

Zeppelin Power Systems offers tailored solutions that meet even the most demanding operating conditions. A key element of our system development is the detailed engineering process, where all components, from the engine control unit to sensitive components, are tested for electromagnetic compatibility. This ensures that operational disturbances are avoided.

Additionally, we conduct comprehensive fire safety tests and specify detailed cable specifications to ensure the operational safety and efficiency of the entire system. These and other measures are crucial for ensuring the reliability and safety of our systems, especially under extreme climatic and operational conditions. With our extensive technical expertise, we guarantee robust performance and maximum operational safety, even in challenging applications.
