| Swiss ABB wins $80 million in orders from Stadler Rail ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has won orders worth around $80 million from Swiss train manufacturer Stadler Rail for traction and onboard power equipment. ABB's scope of supply includes specially designed traction converters with integrated onboard power supplies as well as traction transformers and battery chargers. Compact, lightweight ABB traction products convert electricity from overhead power lines to the voltage levels needed by a train's motors and a host of auxiliary power systems (lighting, heating, ventilation, automatic doors, etc.). The equipment will be installed in 50 double-decker trains serving the busy commuter network in and around the Swiss city of Zurich. ABB will also provide specialized electrical equipment for Stadler Rail's trains on routes between Switzerland and Italy. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
