With high gasoline prices continue to fluctuate, and regional systems for public transport vision better and better as an alternative to cars to ease personal. However, because these systems expand to meet growing demand, and they often face a dilemma increasingly common.
Much of the technology the best that is available today is Europe and Asia, but most regional systems are government entities that must meet "Buy American" states in the implementation of its infrastructure. Fortunately, to reconcile the two requirements do not always settle for less than optimal.
Passenger rail meters Chicago is a good example. Meter serves 500 miles of track and stations 230 in six provinces. As part of a plan to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction, and the replacement of old cars with new cars meters with Highliner around the world latest technologies transit.
Are being built cars by the Japanese company Nippon Sharyo and powered by engines traction Toshiba, but will be provided with fixed final component of the key high value turbo Voith York, Pennsylvania drives the final will be assembled and tested in Pennsylvania using gears, bearings, seals and gear couplings qualified U.S. suppliers.
"These units will help Nippon meet the requirements of the United States 60 percent content for new cars without sacrificing quality or technology," said Michael Klug Voith sales engineer.
Readers have advanced design that helps to prevent the leakage of oil, which makes more environmentally friendly cars than those they replace. It is also compact and powerful, which contributes to passenger comfort through greater reliance on the car, and operational efficiency by reducing maintenance requirements.
First entered the Highliner 16 meters with a car service already. Voith and provide a total of 116 engines on the final duration of the program.
"We expect this partnership to be a model for many transit systems more regional across the United States," said Kellogg. "Marriage technology and manufacturing service global and local is very difficult to win."
