Integration of traction systems: We form from single components and modules a reliable and fail-safe whole system, in which passengers feel comfortable.

Consistent combination of single components, modules, groups of work or system components is very demanding. These components mostly derive from completely different fabrication philosophies, different standard surroundings and from various countries with divergent quality expectations. Therefore the «manual consistency securing» often needs to be carried out, as integration merely on data basis is not sufficient.

Rail vehicles are mostly a matter of «hybrid products», where numerous allowances in kind, technological activities and services must be brought together to a reliable in operation, long-lasting whole system. That fact and increased quality standards make technical integration on rail vehicles particularly challenging. Great knowledge of the suppliers region is helpful for the components evaluation.
