Electric motors, generators and gears for rail cars. INNOVATIVE. INDEPENDENT. IMPASSIONED.

20 years ago, people thought that the electric motor had reached its limit. But technological development never comes to an end. page 3

Bombardier TRAXX DE Solaris Trollino Metrostyle Vossloh Citylink Karlsruhe Operators and manufacturers of rail cars don t need isolated innovative leaps. What they need is a consistent technological advantage. The challenges of cutting-edge electromobility in the rail car market are huge. At the same time, vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers have less and less room to maneuver. It is continually necessary to optimize the performance, durability and compactness of the propulsion systems without affecting price and availability. At the same time, however, the solutions have to be more and more individual: even for minimum quantities the market demands custom-designed special solutions and, as the supplier, it is imperative to respond as flexibly as possible. Traktionssysteme Austria is rising to these challenges. We are specialists for traction motors and traction drives technological leaders, independent and impassioned. That makes us a perfect partner for operators and manufacturers of rail cars over the entire product life cycle. page 4 page 5

Others would rather wait for the future of electromobility. We re pushing it forward. Traktionssysteme Austria is an Austrian company based in a location with a long tradition. Reliable and highly efficient traction drives which are in use on every continent in the world have been produced in the former Brown Boveri plant in Wiener Neudorf for over 50 years. It is the following three success factors that distinguish us as a full-range supplier and provide our customers with a permanent technological advantage: Innovative. Based on our extensive know-how and our worldwide expertise, we were the first in the market to combine motor and gears into a perfectly functioning unit. The result is that we supply our customers in the rail car market with the very heart of electromobility from a single source. Simply give us your specifications we will use them to build the best customized solution. Independent. As an independent specialist, we are the only company in the market which supplies purely traction systems and is free from any corporate interests. As a result, we can concentrate at all times on what is important: the consistent enhancement of our drive solutions. In our company, the customer speaks directly to the owner and this in turn guarantees that important decisions are made when the time is right. Impassioned. We are passionate about traction drives. We put everything into becoming better and better starting with development, production and testing in-house and extending to a service which redefines standards in the market. We take care of things personally and in our work we place great emphasis on encouraging close cooperation between university research and industrial practice. This enables us to cope even with difficult situations. And that is something we do really well. INNOVATIVE IMPASSIONED INDEPENDENT page 7

It s possible to source motors and gears from different places. Or to get them from us as one perfectly functioning unit. Our product portfolio includes liquid and air-cooled traction motors, traction generators and traction gears for all uses of rail-borne and road-borne, electric vehicles. We have also expanded our range of services by synchronous machines with permanent magnets. We will develop traction drives specifically for your requirements and also accept responsibility for the complete unit comprising motor and gears. The quality and safety of our products and the protection of our employees and the environment are paramount in all our activities. This basic principle is an important pillar of our corporate guidelines. We improve our workflows by efficiently monitoring and controlling our measured variables and the information gained from them. Similarly, we also subject the quality management system to constant and critical assessment and expansion which we document by certification in accordance with the International Railway Industry Standard (IRIS). The result of this work is always a compact made-tomeasure solution which represents maximum energy efficiency, high power density and maximum service life.

The next generation should benefit from our knowledge. And from our enthusiasm. Due to many years of experience in the production of traction drives, our employees are the key element in our corporate activities. We are convinced that only our employees skills, which are the result of a complete vertical integration of motors and gears, give vehicle manufacturers and operators the certainty of knowing that they are guaranteed to get the quality they expect. Ongoing training courses for our employees in all relevant areas are therefore an integral part of our HR management. It is only this strong base that enables us to pass on our experience, our know-how and our enthusiasm for electromobility to a young and highly motivated generation. page 11

We don t have to buy in any skills for our business. We have them all in-house. Consultancy Service Our company s added value chain is completed by maintenance and repair of the drives that we have built. Intelligent maintenance and service concepts with spare parts management, guaranteed lead times and diagnostic reports about the drive s technical condition: this is our idea of a comprehensive after-sales service over the entire product life cycle. Thanks to our outstanding system skills and independence as the only company which supplies purely traction systems, we are there to assist our customers with objective advice and clear-cut opinions. Vehicle manufacturers benefit from significant performance improvements even during the bid phase and vehicle operators benefit from the optimum drive solution throughout the entire product life cycle. Development Production All the essential production steps for the manufacture of our products take place in our production facility. One of our key areas in technical production is the mechanical machining of the traction drive s components. CNC-controlled machining equipment enables us to machine large complex parts. However, we also have access to all types of conventional fabrication processes, such as are necessary for the construction of prototypes, enabling us to meet our customers every requirement. Our team for product development and design engineering works within a network of acknowledged experts with decades of experience in the technology of traction motors. We develop solutions to meet your specific requirements. Our customers desire for a holistic approach which encompasses both electrical and mechanical criteria is always paramount during this process. While at the same time, we optimize the requirements for the product-specific lifetime, ease of maintenance and life cycle costs. Quality inspection As a full-range supplier of traction drives, we have all the testing equipment that is necessary for ensuring that quality assurance requirements are met. This means, for example, that cutting-edge equipment is used in the three-dimensional determination of geometrically complex components. Function and performance tests on motors and gears as well as sound and vibration measurements ensure that our drives comply with all structural and production requirements. page 12 page 13
