Modernization of Berlin’s F74/76/79 subway railcars

Delivery: 2010-2019

A total of 91 large-profile double railcars of the F74, F76 and F79 series belonging to the Berlin transport authority (BVG) will undergo comprehensive refurbishment from 2010 to 2019 (option). They will be given a new microprocessor drive control for the camshaft gear, a new static inverter for the DC 110 V on-board power system, a new heating control and a new door control as a replacement for the existing programmable logic control (PLC) for which replacement parts are no longer available.

In addition, Vossloh Kiepe is responsible for the renewal of the pneumatic system by a subcontractor.
