MTU repowering solutions:As good as new.Refitting existing locomotives with modern dieselengines is often the economical alternative tothe procurement of new stock.

In order to find the best solution for your par-ticular modernization project, we offer you com-prehensive engineering support from plan-ning and projection right through to installationchecking and commissioning. Whatever the specifics of the existing design, invirtually every case we can deliver trouble-free integration of the new engine into the existingenvironment and optimum adaptation to theavailable interfaces. That is because of our exten-sive experience of locomotive repowering andthe flexible and intelligent basic design of MTUengines with their

compact dimensions

adaptable electronics

versatile design

wide choice of interface solutions

Repowering offers you a large number of benefitsincluding:

Substantially lower investment costs than forthe procurement of a new locomotive

Availability of repowered locomotives raisedto level of new stock

The use of a modern MTU engine providinglower running and maintenance costs andgreater efficiency

Better performance at lower cost

Support with interface optimization

We are more than reliable suppliers. We are your provider for complete system solutions.

If you require, we can provide project supportright from the outset from the design and speci-fication phases through to the installation phase. In that way, we can bring in our experience andsystem engineering expertise to bear on theproject at an early stage and develop a truly opti-mized traction system concept that is preciselysuited to the locomotive and duty profile con-cerned and which integrates all necessary sub-systems in the best possible way.

But our commitment to you does not end with thecommissioning of your MTU system. As a system provider, we feel we have a respon-sibility to you over the entire service life of theproduct. Long-term optimum care of your en-gines by MTU guarantees you the availability, reliability and economy you demand.

Our experienced and highly qualified techniciansare there to help you and provide the service youneed.

Electronic engine management / control

Safety, reliability, versatility and information

Cooling system

Modern systems with intelligentmanagement

We design and deliver individually tailored com-plete solutions to suit every requirement. The centerpiece of the system is always the en-gine. There are good reasons why MTU dieselengines are the best choice of primary compo-nent for railway locomotive traction systems:

Advanced environmental technology low consumption, exhaust emissions andnoise levels; compliance with the stricteststandards (EURO II / III, UIC II)

Space-saving and low-vibration designfor maximum comfort and outstandingsmoothness

Maximum economy: long service life and low operating costs

Exceptional reliability and availabilitythroughout service life

Highest quality standardsfor all products and services

Extensive product range: individual solutions for any application andduty profile

Product and customer supportright from the start and throughout the servicelife of the engine

Worldwide service and support network

Because of their highly versatile system design,our engines are suitable for diesel-electric anddiesel-hydraulic applications.

The wide range of individually matched accesso-ries naturally mirror the quality standards of thebasic engine and facilitate adaptability to all inter-faces and the implementation of specialized func-tions.
