Electric Drive System for RhB Rescue Train

Developing a rescue train for tunnel use requires specific attention to technology, ergonomics and safety. The RhB also brought clear and detailed requirements to the project:

• Maximum ease of use: Operation in emergencies must be quick and intuitive. This required a tailored control system and user-friendly interface.
• Precise drivability: The vehicles had to handle tight curve radii and steep gradients safely and accurately.
• Compact integration: Despite the high technical complexity, all components had to fit within a confined installation space.
• Operational reliability: The system had to perform reliably under extreme conditions such as high heat, intensive use or low temperatures.
• Customer-specific features: The RhB requested specific functionalities, control logic and interface design that had to be precisely implemented.

Thanks to the close cooperation with the RhB, we delivered a solution that not only met all expectations but also proved itself in real-world use:

• Fast and easy operation: The intuitive controls allow the driver to fully focus on the mission, especially in stressful emergency situations.
• Maximum reliability: The system is robust and durable – ideal for demanding operations in the Vereina Tunnel.
• Tailored to RhB requirements: The custom control programming ensures that the system meets every operational detail required by the RhB.
• Single-source solution: We supported RhB through every phase – from development and delivery to commissioning.
