Düwag GT8S
Düwag or Duewag (stylised in all caps), formerly Waggonfabrik Uerdingen, was a German manufacturer of rail vehicles. It was sold in 1999 to Siemens with the brand later retired. History Duewag was founded in March 1898 as Waggonfabrik Uerdingen in Uerdingen and produced rail vehicles under the Düwag brand. After merging with Düsseldorfer Waggonfabrik in 1935, railway vehicles were built in Uerdingen, while the Düsseldorf plant produced mainly local traffic vehicles, namely tramway and light rail vehicles. In 1981, the company changed its name from Waggonfabrik Uerdingen to Duewag. Siemens acquired a 60% shareholding in 1989 before taking full ownership in April 1999. In 2001, the Düsseldorf plant was closed with production transferred to Uerdingen. Duewag vehicles were close to a monopoly market in West Germany, as nearly every tram and light rail vehicle purchased from the 1960s onward was built by Duewag.

Siemens Mobility
Siemens Mobility GmbH is a division of Siemens. With its global headquarters in Munich, Siemens Mobility has four core business units: Mobility Management, dedicated to rail technology and intelligent traffic systems, Railway Electrification, Rolling Stock, and Customer Services. History Innovations from the late 19th century, such as the world's first electric train, when Siemens & Halske unveiled a train in which power was supplied through the rails, and the world's first electric tram, with the implementation of 2.5-kilometer-long electric tramway located in Berlin, built at the company's own expense, cemented the use of electric power in transportation systems. In the following years, inventions such as the first electric trolleybus, mine locomotives, and the first underground railway in continental Europe (in Budapest), set the path from trams and subways to today's high-speed trains. Siemens, alongside ThyssenKrupp and Transrapid International, was part of the Germa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

TW 6000
The TW 6000 is a type of articulated light rail vehicle used on the Hanover Stadtbahn system, manufactured by Duewag, Linke-Hofmann-Busch, AEG, Kiepe and Siemens. The vehicle can serve both high platforms and street-level stops; it has cabs at both ends, thus eliminating the need for turning loops. It was unique in Germany at the time for featuring thyristor chopper control and a contemporary design by Herbert Lindinger. A total of 260 were built between 1974 and 1993, of which the first series of 100 was built by Duewag in Düsseldorf from 1974 to 1978, whilst the second to eighth series (160) were built by LHB in Salzgitter from 1979 to 1993. From 2002 on, 82 units were sold to Budapest, Hungary and The Hague, The Netherlands.

TW 400
The TW 400 is a type of tram vehicle formerly used on the tramways of Hanover, Germany, built from 1956 to 1958 by Duewag. Some units underwent remodeling to prepare them for being used on the Hanover Stadtbahn network but they were never used for this purpose. During the construction of the A tunnel of the Hanover Stadtbahn it was not foreseeable whether the new TW 6000 cars would be available in sufficient numbers. Therefore, a number of TW 400 cars (called because of their body width of ), was brought up to tunnel standards from 1969 onwards. This involved: *Folding steps *Rearrangement of the doors *wide door steps (dubbed "Blumenbretter" or "window sills"), bridging the gap between the tramcar and the platform. Since the tram cars were unidirectional vehicles, all stations on the A line have their platforms on the right in direction of travel. This led to some problems, most notably the complicated layout of the station ''Lister Platz'', with platforms stacked on top of e ...

SL79
SL79 is a class of 40 articulated tram, articulated trams operated by the Oslo Tramway of Norway. The trams were a variation of the Duewag trams that had been developed by the German manufacturer since the 1950s. The six-axle vehicles are unidirectional with four doors on the right side. The trams can seat 77 passengers three and four abreast, with an additional 91 people able to stand. Power output is , provided by two motors on the two end bogies, that supplement a central unpowered Jacobs bogie located under the articulation. The trams are long and wide. They are capable of and have standard gauge. They were built in two series, the first of 25 units delivered in 1982–84, and the second of 15 units delivered in 1989–90. The first 10 units were built by Duewag, while the last 30 were built in Norway by Strømmens Værksted, Strømmen. They were numbered 101 through 140. The two series vary slightly in specifications. The trams were ordered in 1979 after the 1977 decision ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Duewag GT8 Typ Freiburg
The Duewag GT8 Typ Freiburg is a three-part eight-axle Types of Trams#Articulated, articulated tram used on Trams in Freiburg im Breisgau, Freiburg im Breisgau's tram network. From 1971 to 1991, these trams were exclusively produced for the Freiburger Verkehrs AG, VAG Freiburg by Düsseldorfer Waggonfabrik, Duewag in three series, which defined them as the Freiburg type, ''Typ Freiburg''. They are designed to be used Uni-directional vehicle, uni-directionally. Construction Trams with Jacobs bogies were not suitable for the partially narrow, curved radii in Freiburg, so a new type of tram was created. Freiburg's trams were based on the classic 1956 Duewag articulated tram. In contrast to conventional articulated trams, the centre of gravity of Freiburg's trams was not located at the Jacobs bogies but underneath the middle section, to which two tram end cars were attached. In addition to the all-axle drive, an improved structure gauge was also used, totalling {{Convert, 34, m of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Toll Royal Railways
Cambodia has of metre gauge rail network, consisting of two lines: one from the capital, Phnom Penh, to Sihanoukville, and another from Phnom Penh to Poipet, on the Thai border. The lines were originally constructed during the time when the country was part of French Indochina, but due to neglect and damage from civil war during the latter half of the 20th century, the railways were in a dilapidated state, and all services had been suspended by 2009. Through rehabilitation efforts by the government of Cambodia, with funding from the Asian Development Bank, Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), and the Australian company Toll Holdings, freight and limited passenger service returned between Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville by 2016, and passenger service between Phnom Penh and Poipet was fully restored in 2019. History French colonial era Before the Phnom Penh – Poipet railway was built in the 1930s, a railway line connecting Phnom Krom with Siem Reap was ori ...

RegioSprinter
The RegioSprinter is a German diesel railcar built by Siemens-Duewag for rapid regional railway services. Originally the RegioSprinter was designated as a Regional Combustion-engined Railbus (''Regional-Verbrennungstriebwagen'' or ''RVT'') by Duewag. Developed as prototypes for fast regional railway services on the plains, the RegioSprinter still has the fastest acceleration of any multiple unit or railbus in Germany. Due to several technical and conceptual defects, however, only very few were built. Based on their experience with the Regiosprinter Siemens developed its successor, the Desiro, which was initially marketed as the ''Regiosprinter 2''. In 1999, all the Vogtlandbahn vehicles were converted to meet tramway regulations (''BO Strab''), in order to be able to transfer to a tram line in the centre of Zwickau. Design The vehicles are designed with three sections. In the two, single-axled end modules are the driver's cabs and the drive units like those on trams. In the m ...
