Liebherr Supplies Bombardier
Low-Floor Trams
Railway vehicle manufacturer Bombardier
Transportation awarded Liebherr-
Transportation Systems with a contract
to supply 48 lightweight roof-mounted
air conditioning units for low-floor trams
to its site in Bautzen (Germany). These trams will be operated by the
Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH (RNV),
the Oberrheinische Eisenbahngesells-
chaft (OEG) and the Rhein-Haardt-
Bahn (RHB).
Air Conditioning Systems for Variotrams in London
In August 2011, German railway
vehicle manufacturer Stadler
Pankow GmbH selected Liebherr-
Transportation Systems as suppli-
er of air conditioning systems for six
Variotrams. The trams will be op-
erated by Tramlink in the south of
London (UK).
The package includes twelve saloon
rooftop air conditioning units and six
driver cab air conditioning units.
This is the sixth call-off order of the exist-
ing framework contract between Stadler
and Liebherr-Transportation Systems.
To date, air conditioning systems for
84 vehicle sets have been ordered.
Electro-Hydraulic Actuators for V300 ZEFIRO
High-Speed Trains
In December 2011, Liebherr-Transportation
Systems has received an order from
Bombardier’s bogies center of excel- lence in Siegen (Germany) to supply 800
electro-hydraulic actuators for the active
lateral suspension in the V300 ZEFIRO* high-speed trains. By 2017 50 train sets
are to be equipped with 16 actuators
each. The first two devices were deliv-
ered on schedule in June 2012.
The electro-hydraulic actuators will ena-
ble the further improvement of the run-
ning characteristics of the FLEXX* speed
bogies, while reducing wear on wheel
and rail.
For Liebherr-Transportation Systems this
order represents another important mile-
stone in the successful implementation of
active damping systems in the rail sector.
