"Traction equipment plays a central role in this process, serving not only as the technical backbone but also as a strategic lever for sustainability, cost-effectiveness and quality of life. Modern traction systems enable resource-efficient operation through intelligent power electronics, optimized driving strategies and the recovery of braking energy. KIEPE has equipped more than 5,000 vehicles worldwide with zero-emission technology, including electric buses with In-Motion-Charging (IMC®) and lightweight regional trains such as the new DRAISY from Lohr."
"Reduced maintenance times through robust architecture and modernization contribute to greater efficiency. Sustainable public transport requires durable and easy-to-maintain systems. KIEPE relies on robust components that can be easily serviced and replaced thanks to their modularity. Modernization is particularly relevant: instead of replacing entire fleets, existing vehicles can be upgraded with targeted measures."
Cities and regions worldwide are adopting electric drive systems to make public transport emission-free, efficient and future-proof. Traction equipment functions as both the technical backbone and a strategic lever for sustainability, cost-effectiveness and quality of life. Modern traction systems provide resource-efficient operation through intelligent power electronics, optimized driving strategies and recovery of braking energy. KIEPE has equipped over 5,000 vehicles with zero-emission technology, including IMC® buses and lightweight regional trains. Robust, modular components reduce maintenance times and enable targeted modernization, extending service life, cutting costs and contributing to a circular economy. Corporate strategy targets CO2-neutral sites and holistic sustainability across ecological, economic and social dimensions.
