The Evolution of Mobility

Bombardier Transportation Presents Solutions for the Future of Public Transportation at InnoTrans 2014 - Seite 2

Efficiency: smart solutions for reducing total lifecycle costs

On display at InnoTrans will be the BOMBARDIER TRAXX F140 AC electric locomotive with the Last Mile feature that delivers seamless logistics to an increasingly competitive market. Able to run on both electric and non-electric tracks, the TRAXX F140 AC electric locomotive eliminates the need for transition stopping. Plus, the Last Mile technology includes an efficient diesel engine that enables the locomotive to run entirely on battery power over short distances - completely emission free. Also on display will be the TRAXX P160 DE Multi-Engine diesel locomotive. With its innovative four-diesel engine concept that controls each engine's output separately, the TRAXX Multi-Engine diesel locomotive is not only more eco-friendly and quieter, but also markedly reduces fuel consumption, emissions and lifecycle costs when compared to diesel locomotives with similar performance.

Urban flow: modern rail technology to solve global congestion challenges

Urban congestion consumes valuable time, stalls economic growth and marginalises certain sectors of the population. One highlighted solution designed to meet these challenges is the landmark BOMBARDIER INNOVIA Monorail 300 system. From its flexible customisation options and easy installation, to efficient driverless operation and tight curve capabilities, this innovative technology is a perfect example of how Bombardier is boosting urban mobility in cities trying to keep pace with their economic development. The flexible BOMBARDIER PRIMOVE portfolio for electric rail and road vehicles is the world's only one-stop shop for true e-mobility, minimising air, noise and visual pollution. At InnoTrans 2014 Bombardier will present two PRIMOVE equipped e-bus vehicles from current projects in Germany. Bus operators benefit especially from the concept of high power charging at the most convenient points along bus routes, ensuring optimum fleet availability. Bombardier will also display an attractive new BOMBARDIER FLEXITY 2 tram for Flemish Transport operator De Lijn. With their inspirational design, 48 modern and spacious low-floor vehicles will substantially increase capacity and define the cityscapes of Ghent and Antwerp for decades to come. The FLEXITY 2 tram is a prime example of proven technology and a pleasant experience for any passenger who enjoys a smooth and elegant ride.
