Subproject 2 - Railcar

Aim of the subproject
The demonstration project deals with a class 842 railcar operated by Czech Railways (CD). The vehicle is equipped with two very low power engines (212kW) and the extremely restrictive space constraints make the application really challenging for manufacturers willing to fulfil IIIB requirements. Such space constraints are, among the others, due to the need of having all auxiliary onboard equipment all under the vehicle floor together with the traction engine. The Sub Project will also examine the applicability of the design with regards to another DMU. To do this UK vehicles will be examined due to their narrow rail guage to see if the power pack can be compatible.
