ETCS

DB ESG received an order from Siemens Mobility to supply the vehicle installation design for a European Train Control System (ETCS) to go onto freight locomotives. 

This project forms part of Network Rail Digital Railway’s ETCS Freight Train Fitment Programme. Siemens Mobility has a contract with Network Rail for the provision of first-in-class design and fitment of Siemens’ ETCS Trainguard 200® on-board equipment onto the locomotives.

Siemens has subcontracted DB ESG to provide the mechanical and electrical vehicle installation design and first-in-class support of an ETCS Level 2 on-board and TPWS/AWS solution for several locomotive classes, including Class 66, Class 60, Class 57 and Class 47.
