Repowering
Remanufacturing and repowering locomotives and railcars that have proven themselves on the job is a truly economical alternative to new purchasing. Locomotive and railcar repowering allows many features to be brought up to new-vehicle levels. Installing modern MTU diesel engines, tailored drive systems or compact MTU PowerPacks® not only increases repowered rail vehicles' reliability and uptime, it also lowers operating costs and exhaust-gas emission. Reduced vibration and noise abatement measures also make riding more comfortable for operating personnel and passengers. Trains repowered with MTU diesel engines are used around the world – reliably, economically, and safely.
