Berlin, here we come! TSA wins significant order for electric motors of new metro
© Stadler Rail
Traktionssysteme Austria (TSA) from Wiener Neudorf was engaged to develop and construct the new electric motor generation for the project ‘Metro Berlin – Series J/JK’! This is one of the largest supply contracts ever awarded in Europe.
The contract with the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) includes up to 1,500 metro cars. 4,500 motors will be manufactured and delivered for this project within the next 10 years. An additional agreement was concluded for spare parts for the following 32 years.
The requirements regarding weight and noise emissions were very demanding during the design process of this electric motor. For building the prototype, we used modern 3D printing and also incorporated results from various research projects. This made it possible to build one of the lightest TSA motors so far. The self-ventilated motor is perfectly synchronized with the vehicle’s overall system. Starting in 2022, TSA will deliver 12 electric motors every week to Berlin.
