The VEDS is the first manufacturer-independent complete system including the drive components control of the auxiliaries high-voltage distribution cooling system and wiring of all these components. Additionally the plug-and-play roof rack makes it easy for the customer to integrate all of these components into vehicles without a big effort. The water-cooled permanent magnet motor has a high power density and can be used in single articulated and double decker buses.Increased safety and real-time status of rail couplersWith Smart Schaku from Voith operators will be able to monitor the status of the couplers in real-time and make better decisions concerning maintenance repairs and replacements. Information from the coupler is sent to the cloud and combined with the vehicle operation data. The coupling log includes operating hours date time speed and strength of every connection. It can even detect a broken damper or deformation tube giving operators the information they need to improve vehicle safety and optimize maintenance. Plannable and calculable costs availability and safety are only some of the benefits that the condition monitoring system for rail couplers offers.The water-cooled permanent magnet motor has a high power density and can be used in single articulated and double decker buses.Strategic partnership for digitalization of public transportVoith and Pilotfish announced their strategic partnership in January 2019.
