Innovations |
FRENOS Division: Brakes and Air Production Area: New air production modules, with intelligent control allowing to minimize energy consumption, noise emission, weight and size of the equipment due to the possibility of varying the rotation speed in an intelligent way. iCom monitoring systems providing the capability to know, in real time, the status of different equipment of a fleet of vehicles and to define a maintenance based on the condition. New design of the axle disc for freight wagons, 60 mm thinner and 45 kg lighter than the traditional one. ESRA Evolution electronics based on the tested ESRA brake control system and incorporating new microcontrollers; this system increases the integration interfaces and allows the SW to be quickly and easily updated. New MGS3 anti-skid electronic system, which minimizes brake distances when the adherence is very low. // Doors Systems Area: Development of doorsystem RLE as continuation of the RLS product family, available for sliding plug doors and sliding doors and allowing additional optional features, like an improved central cut out and lower weight and power consumption. Development of LIFEDrive sliding entrance system that for the first time allows two door leaves can be driven independently of each other, which offers enormous advantages, especially with closely-timed metros, with the smallest and lightest drive on the market.
Merak: Merak is leader in the market for railway climate control systems. The brand covers all segments and is present in all phases of the value chain. Its products are highly innovative and are focused on sustainable health and comfort everywhere in railway. green[air] is Merak's solution combining several technologies (such as heat pump, ECO fans, capacity control and fresh air optimization) and low GWP (Global Warming Potential) green refrigerants in order to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.
clean[air] is a system with multiple stages and technologies, integrating those previously mentioned, which acts in 3 dimensions to distribute, filter and purify air. These solutions adapt to all train requirements and offer multiple adaptations. All of them combined guarantee the best air quality.
