In-Move by Railgrup ha identificado la siguiente oportunidad que podría ser interesante para algunos miembros del clúster. La fecha límite para la presentación de  propuestas es bastante cercana: el 20 de septiembre. Se trata de una consulta de mercado previa a la licitación del Retrofiting de vagones para los trenes de cercanías de Viena para conseguir 0 emisiones.

Nos han confirmado que están interesados en candidaturas catalanas y puede presentar su propuesta en inglés.

PROJECT / OBJECTIVES DESCRIPTION:

The most popular regional train in Austria is connecting the city centers of Vienna and Baden for over 130 years. The approximately 26-kilometer tracks of the Badner Bahn show up as one of the most important public transport connections to the southern area of Vienna. From the Vienna State Opera it goes via the communities of Vösendorf, Wiener Neudorf, Guntramsdorf, Traiskirchen to the spa town of Baden. In just over an hour's journey, the Badner Bahn connects city center and country, wine tavern and café culture, “Sommerfrische” and city flair and much more. For around 40,000 passengers a day, the Badner Bahn is a companion on the way to work, on the way to school, on a shopping tour in Europe's largest shopping center or for culture, leisure and excursions into the countryside. Road-rail vehicles (road / rail) are currently used to maintain the company's own route network. These are used, for example, when working on the overhead lines, mowing along the railroad tracks or areas off the rails and are also used in emergencies.Up to now, the vehicles are operated with a conventional internal combustion engine. These combustion engine vehicles are to be replaced by emission-free vehicles in order to implement the Clean Vehicle Directive (EU-directive that is supposed to accelerate the use of alternative drives), to make a contribution to climate protection, and also to take into account the interests of people living next to the route (noise, exhaust gases).Main QuestionHow should a road-rail vehicle for trams and local railways be designed most efficiently with zero emissions? 

Desired situation: The aim of this challenge and the innovation dialogue is to get to know ideas and concepts for retrofitting two new commercially available road-rail vehicles. In future, the converted vehicles should be able to be operated emission-free, including various applications/features (exits for hydraulics, auxiliary drives, etc).The Wiener Lokalbahnen (WLB) would like to use this challenge to obtain a market overview of innovative solutions and technological providers. Ideas and rough concepts for road-rail vehicles with zero emissions are sought.

Key facts:

• Transformation of standard road-rail chassis into an emission-free drive.

• Modular technology structure should enable the exchange of components in further technical development.

• One of the two vehicles is used for route maintenance, such as mowing along the railroad tracks but also beside the rails in road mode.

• The second vehicle is an auxiliary and rescue vehicle for overhead line work, which has to get to the scene quickly for emergencies on the road.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
