Bombardier Presents its Innovative Solutions for the Future of Mobility at Business on Rails 2014 in Brazil - Seite 2

For Metrô of São Paulo's Line 5 (metro) and Line 15 (monorail), Bombardier is installing CITYFLO 650, a CTBC driverless signaling and control system which, based on the moving block principle, enables the smallest possible headway between trains while maximizing passenger safety. The BOMBARDIER INTERFLO 250 solution, the first-ever European Train Control System (ETCS) system in Latin America, will operate on five branches of the Rio de Janeiro SuperVia network. INTERFLO 250 is an ERTMS Level 1 automatic train protection (ATP) solution for main lines. It allows automatic and safe management of travelling time between trains, including automatic stops. The system is being introduced for SuperVia as an overlay with minimal interruption to commercial operation.

Adapting technology to the specific needs of national freight operators, Bombardier also offers the multi-engine BOMBARDIER TRAXX locomotive. With its innovative four-diesel engine concept that controls each engine's output separately, this locomotive is not only eco-friendly, but also markedly reduces fuel consumption, emissions and lifecycle costs. The model developed for Brazil incorporates all of the developments of the market-leading TRAXX series, Europe's leading platform, of which more than 1,700 have already been sold worldwide.

In addition to its innovative rail vehicles, Bombardier also offers its World Class Fleet Operations and Maintenance Program to reduce total lifecycle costs. This program provides complete service for the modernization of electric multiple units (EMUs) and metros, including door and truck systems, interiors, propulsion, communication and air-conditioning systems, and other improvements for passenger comfort. Bombardier is currently putting forward this extensive know-how and expertise to modernize and prolong the operating life of 156 passenger rail cars for Companhia do Metroplitano de São Paulo (CMSP), the metro system of Brazil's largest city.
