The 12-meter vehicle is equipped with a combination of “KEYOU-inside hydrogen engine” and Voith DIWA NXT mild-hybrid system.
The company now offers customers a 605 kWh lithium ion NMC battery and powertrain solution to support larger and heavier vehicles that will easily haul their significantly higher passenger loads.
With the VEDS powering the bus, TriMet will be extensively evaluating system capabilities that can increase range up to 25% higher than other electric drive systems with similar sized battery packs in the North American market.
The purchase of the new locomotives was made possible by Act 89, Pennsylvania's comprehensive funding transportation bill.
Voith Turbo is also introducing its new DIWA.6 transmission, which features a fuel economy increase of up to 16%.
The SensoTop program enables the transmission’s control system to automatically adapt gear-shifting points based on acceleration, vehicle load and topography of the route.
Dr. Frank Gropengiesser will also become a member of the management board of Voith Turbo. He has over 20 years of international management experience and extensive knowledge of the global rail supply industry.
In recent multi-day real test runs, the DIWAhybrid-drive system gained an average of 16 percent efficiency, the company reported.
