Use Case Mixed Traction - Refit under Special Circumstances

When it became known in spring 2019 that RUF Telematik AG unfortunately had to file for bankruptcy, our long-standing customer Stadler had to act fast. After all, they were in the middle of implementing the latest generation of vehicles for the LEB railroad, for which the passenger information systems were now missing.

Passenger information under time pressure

While this last-minute request was our gain, it brought its challenges.

In total, it involved six new trains. A high development effort, therefore, for a comparatively small order volume.

For FELA, however, it was an order exactly to our taste: individual developments for very special requirements.

And even though the number of units was only small, we saw the potential for further similar projects, all of which have to deal with the same problem. Namely, the operation of different vehicle generations with equipment from different manufacturers in mixed traction.
