Project description
Innovative technologies for running longer trains
The successful testing of a 1 500-m-long freight train opened up new opportunities in European freight transport. The technologies developed enabled the lengthening of a train by merging two trains running in the same direction, with the second train locomotive in the middle of the newly formed train. Radio remote control for distributed power, which allows heavier and longer trains to move, is also helping rail freight transport take a greater market share. The EU-funded M2O project aims to develop safety analyses and reliable radio communication solutions for distributed power systems for trains up to 1 500 m long and with up to four traction units.
