Vossloh Engineering Centre has a commitment to Innovation. State of the art technology and optimum quality are the characteristics of the whole range of products developed and produced. The leader in the European market and exporting to the United States, Israel, Algeria, Egypt, Brazil and to other countries, Vossloh is designing and producing:

Diesel-Electric Locomotives for Commuter and Intercity Services

Vossloh is designing and manufacturing high-performance diesel-electric locomotives for commuter and intercity services in North America with proven components e.g. EMD engine and propulsion system.

Thirty-three modern and high powered, commuter locomotives (model PL42AC) supplied in 2003 are operating successfully at New Jersey Transit today. These locomotives were completely designed at the Vossloh Engineering Centre in Valencia (Spain) and assembled in Hornell, New York.

Train-Tram

Vossloh has designed the first train-tram in Spain, a new transport concept that is less contaminating, faster and more efficient.

The train-tram is a light articulated vehicle that functions as a suburban train in the metropolitan area and as a tram in the urban context, capable of surface and underground travel. Travelling from outside a city to its interior without having to change is the great advantage of this mixed system, making it possible to achieve travel times that are very competitive by comparison with other means of transport.

Metros

The trains for metros have substantially improved their benefits over the past years. For example the new series 4300 incorporates a design of traction and power that allows to recover the original benefits of prior series.

New, more powerful motors increase the benefits of the present composition and to it a new control equipment of 32 bit, called "Agate", is added. The units will then have a greater power and will improve their acceleration over 1 m/s2. The new series has a computer network control and new traction equipment with semiconductors IGBT with forced and self ventilation integrated.

Trucks

In conjunction with its optimized logistics system, Vossloh’s totally integrated production facility – as one of the most flexible and competitive within this field of manufacturing – achieves a production capacity of more than 800 trucks per year.

Vossloh develops, designs and manufactures trucks for hydraulic or electric power transmission in two- or three-axle configurations that are suitable for various maximum speeds and different wheel-set loads including disc or block brake systems.
