ETR magazine reports on our "project Westbahn"

The private railway WESTBahn is operating in 2-hours-cycles from Vienna via Linz to Salzburg. The fleet consists of double deck trains of the type KISS by Stadler Rail. Henceforth, parts of the fleet will be operated by DB. For the extended approval of Germany, PJM was in charge of the type tests in the field of brakes and acoustics. "The test runs were successfully performed in a very short time frame", says Martin Joch. The three main factors for this were:
The static tets, dynamic brake tests and tests of the wheel slide protection system were performed under varying conditions, such as differing conditions of the track and varying speed ranging from 80 to the maximum of 200 km/h.
The suburban fleet of S-Bahn in Berlin will be modernised from 2021 on. 382 new vehicles will provide more comfort, light and safety. 2015, the consortium Siemens Mobility GmbH and Stadler Pankow GmbH started to develop a new trainset "DB 483 and 484". For these new trainsets, PJM was in charge of the approval tests in the fields of fatigue strength, structural requirements of railway vehicle bodies and torsional vibrations of the wheelsets. A complex projekt like this reqires a many years' experience of worldwide projects of an accredited testing facility.
These figures show the complexity of this project:
The German special interest magazin "Privatbahnmagazin" reports on the PJM-tests for approval for Stadler Bussnang AG. Further 40 FLIRT trains will be operated by the regional railway TILO.

It's landscape just like in a fairy tale: The approval tests of new Stadler FLIRT trains were performed amongst others on the world-famous Gotthard railway. Within the comprehensive tests, there was a focus on the aquivalent conicity of the rail-wheel-contact. Get the full project story as download or on:
