Repowering
ZF’s Repowering solutions aim at reducing fuel consumption and thus life cycle costs as well as at extending the service life of the rail vehicles. In the repowering process, outdated driveline technology is replaced by modern, efficiently working driveline components.
EcoWorld is already being used successfully in repowering projects at Irish Rail and Porterbrook Leasing.
