Traction motors

Our three-phase asynchronous motors impress with their compact design and high performance – ideal for use in rail vehicles and buses. Their high efficiency minimizes energy losses, extends the service life of the vehicles, and reduces operating costs. Furthermore, their quiet operation ensures increased ride comfort for both passengers and drivers.
