Activities by year

ABB won from Stadler Valencia orders worth $170 million to power more than 300 new trains and locomotives with highly energy-efficient traction technologies. They will be used in different European railway networks to modernize and reinforce train transportation in countries such as Spain, Portugal, UK, Germany or Austria, as well as in some European railway corridors.

A large part of the trains that will be powered by ABB technologies are based on Stadler’s tram-train CITYLINK model, a barrier-free light rail vehicle family specially designed to connect the city center with its metropolitan area without changing trains, providing a safe and highly comfortable ride. The scope of supply includes ABB’s traction converters and motors to power the trains and all these different trains will be powered by traction systems that are part of ABB’s Bordline® family. These systems convert the electrical energy from the overhead power line to the right voltage and frequency to drive the traction motors. The selected converters for CITYLINK will integrate all the power electronics – traction and auxiliary power – in one single box, minimizing vehicle weight, saving energy and easing maintenance. Bordline® Compact Converters to be installed in locomotives will additionally be optimized to increase energy efficiency and reduce lifecycle costs.

Areas All over the world.

Activities Mechanical construction, Electrification, Air conditioning equipment, Auxiliary electric equipment, Engineering and consulting, Maintenance, Others.
