Maximum performance, lowest emissions
Starting in April 2021, Voith will deliver its diesel-mechanical RailPack 400DM units for use in Alstom’s regional train platform Coradia Lint. Part of the unit is the low-emission, diesel-fueled Voith Rail Engine. With its best-in-class power density of up to 480 kW and a maximum torque of 2800 Nm, it enables a speed of up to 145 km/h. Thanks to a highly efficient exhaust aftertreatment system, the engine is in accordance with the Stage V emission standard coming into effect throughout Europe in 2021.
Innovative rail transmission
Also included in the RailPack 400DM is an innovative mechanical transmission based on the manufacturer’s well-established DIWARail.
