Excursion to Siemens PCW

An excursion to the test and validation centre Wegberg-Wildenrath owned by Siemens took place within the context of the lectures “Principles of Rail Vehicle Technology” and “Rail Vehicle Vibration Dynamics” on June 21, 2017. The facilities, with an extension of 44 hectares and 30 km of track, are used for the initial startup, technical check, registration and inspection of rail vehicles and railway systems. Apart from the testing facilities, a high number of new rail vehicles (some of them not delivered yet) could be admired. We would like to thank the centre for the informative presentation. We are looking forward to the next time!
