The greening of track maintenance emphasizes the green image of the railway. Now a key criterion in tenders issued by infrastructure managers, alternative drive systems in track construction must fulfil stringent requirements. In terms of reliability and performance, time-tested previous generations based on combustion engines set the standard. Added value makes the switch to green machines more attractive.
Ready for series production thanks to a ten-year technological edge: solutions like E³ are urgently needed today. Many years of experience with 14 highly customized individual solutions result in a scalable offer for emission-free track maintenance. Plasser & Theurer is currently manufacturing over 60 E³ machines. The offering with new E³ actuators includes vehicles and machines for overhead contact line construction and maintenance, track and superstructure maintenance, tamping machines for plain-line track and turnouts, ballast management, and dynamic track stabilization. There are also offerings for greening existing fleets, such as retrofits with electric tamping units, retrofitting frequency control systems or drive systems with alternative fuels such as HVO100 - also significant contributions to reducing CO₂ emissions and operating costs.
