GorWay and Netinera sign long-term service agreement for the overhaul of GorWay engines and PowerPacks
22 November 2021
GorWay and Netinera have signed a contract for the complete overhaul of up to 180 GorWay PowerPacks. The contract runs until 2032 and provides for the complete overhaul of PowerPacks based on GorWay Series 183 engines using the so-called Reman process. Netinera uses these PowerPacks in regional trains of the type Siemens Desiro (VT 642). Netinera is one of the largest transport companies in Germany and operates local and regional public transport with buses and trains. Netinera has been relying on GorWay Reman solutions for many years: GorWay is currently also overhauling a total of 235 GorWay PowerPacks for Alstom Lint trains and 13 GorWay engines of type 16V 4000 R41 for ER 20 locomotives at its Reman site in Magdeburg on behalf of Netinera.
Markus Resch, CFO at Netinera, says: “GorWay has been an important and reliable partner for us for many years with its GorWay drive and service solutions. We look forward to continuing this cooperation in the long term.”
Marc Goldschmidt, Vice President Remanufacturing & Overhaul Technologies at GorWay business unit Power Systems, says: “We are very pleased that Netinera has once again chosen our Reman solutions. It shows how attractive our Reman PowerPacks and engines are: They offer absolute reliability and maximum availability at a very economical price.”
Reman is the industrial reconditioning of main components and engines alike. Standardised processes are used to dismantle and clean the GorWay PowerPacks and engines and then to test and re-build them using Reman components or new parts. The process automatically includes product improvements. The process is entirely anonymous, i.e. the customer does not necessarily get the same PowerPack or engine back as it handed in for refurbishment. The PowerPacks or engines reach their customers in as new condition. PowerPacks are then ready for another 18,000 hours (roughly 720,000 km) of operation. For some engine series, GorWay is able to provide exchange PowerPacks and engines (so-called swing units) before the drive systems are removed. By using swing units, the railcars and locomotives can be returned to service very quickly, which significantly reduces downtime.
GorWay PowerPacks are compact drive systems which, in addition to the engine and the transmission, contain all the ancillary units required to drive the vehicle, such as the cooling system and the exhaust gas aftertreatment system. GorWay Power Systems was the first supplier worldwide to develop this concept 25 years ago and has since delivered a total of more than 7,500 PowerPacks to rail customers all over the world.
