Siemens
Mobility provides propulsion systems to new CAF trains for Metro de Madrid
Siemens
Mobility chosen by CAF to provide state-of-the-art propulsion systems,
including motors, traction converters, and brake resistors
Siemens Mobility, in collaboration with CAF,
has developed a cutting-edge propulsion system for both new fleets of Metro de
Madrid, which will enhance the efficiency of the new trains
Siemens
Mobility is proud to announce its agreement with the leading Spanish rolling
stock manufacturer CAF (Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, S.A.) to
deliver propulsion systems for the new rolling stock of Metro de Madrid. CAF
has recently signed two contracts with Metro de Madrid to replace the aging
vehicle fleet both for narrow gauge and broad gauge. Siemens Mobility, in
collaboration with CAF, has developed a state-of-the-art propulsion system for
both fleets, which will enhance the efficiency of the new trains and will
create the best trains for Metro de Madrid. The vehicles will be equipped with
traction inverters, motors and brake resistors, to deliver full performance in
both 1,500V and 600V catenary systems (bi-tension).
