The German Railway Industry Association
 The German Railway Industry Association (VDB) is the industrial association of the
railway equipment manufacturers in Germany.
 It represents the interests of more than 170 member companies – many of them are
worldwide leading system integrators and highly specialized small and medium sized
suppliers (SME’s).
 The VDB members develop and manufacture systems and components for rail vehicles
and their infrastructure. In addition to that they offer a broad range of services for the
railway engineering.
 The VDB is organized in 19 working and topical committees.

A view to 2025 in Germany
 Growth in freight traffic is increasing
 Linkage between traffic performance and GDP is decreasing
 Growth in passenger traffic is decreasing

The LL-brake pads: A milestone in the fight against railway noise
 Noise can affect the public acceptance of rail freight traffic
 potential barrier for growth in rail freight traffic
 Since 2007 approximately 20,000 new freight wagons have been
equipped with low-noise K-brake pads but…
 … in Europe there are still about 300,000 wagons equipped with noise
causing cast-iron brake pads; about 180,000 in Germany alone
 LL-brake pads were authorized in June 2013 after decades of
development and regulatory work  1:1 exchange of cast-iron pads
against LL-brake pads is possible!
 Finally, an important requirement for noise reduction of the existing fleet
and its braking system is fulfilled. And possible without expensive
remodeling.

Selected railway innovations: Hybrid-locomotive
 Diesel locomotive with an electric power unit
consists of:

Battery

Diesel generator

Electric engine

Mechanical gear
Ecological and economic advantages:
(compared to traditional Diesel-hydraulic power units)
 No idle operation of the Diesel power unit, saving up to 40% of fuel and CO2
 Up to 60% particles and up to 40% less nitrogen oxides emissions
 Reduction of noise exposure by 15 dB during electrical operation
 LCC-reduction up to 30%

Selected railway innovations: Recovery of previously unused energy to increase
energy efficiency
 60% of the energy stored in fuel escapes in the form of unused
waste heat
 Integration of a heat pump into exhaust system:

Through the hydraulic-coupling a part of the heat is converted
into useful torque and is returned to the driveline

Alternatively, the generator can be used to provide additional
components with power (e.g. auxiliary drive or comfort drive)
Ecological and economic advantages:
 Significant reduction in fuel consumption and therefore CO2 emissions;
Potential savings between 5 and 12% depending on the operational profile
 Alternatively the engine power can be raised without increase of fuel consumption

The German railway industry: The worldwide leading innovator
 The German railway industry is the worldwide market and technology leader.
 Every boy knows that a Porsche accelerates within 17 seconds from 0 to 200 km/h.
 What he does not know is: A modern high-performance locomotive with a power
of 7,000 kW can do the same!
