| Work Detail |
ABB and Titagarh Rail Systems have formed a strategic partnership to supply propulsion systems for metro rolling stock projects in India. This is geared towards expand its footprint in the key market to other projects and countries.
The partnership covers an agreement for Titagarh to purchase ABB propulsion systems, including traction converters, traction motors and train control management system (TCMS) software. It also includes securing the manufacturing rights and production license for traction motors, and complete transfer of technology of the GoA 4 (Driverless metro) TCMS software from ABB to Titagarh.
For ABB, it is an opportunity to support the efforts to make rail transportation in India sustainable through energy-efficient technology produced in India.
The agreement implies developing in-house capabilities for Titagarhs own TCMS, including driverless (Grade of Automation 4) TCMS, along with a TCMS laboratory and the development of the source codes. |
