Bombardier Honoured by Switzerland for Investment in Product Development
Switzerland presents prestigious "Tell Award" to Bombardier for its development of the country's innovative next generation intercity trains
The innovative Bombardier FLEXX Tronic WAKO system compensates the natural roll movement of the carbody maximizing comfort for passengers and at the same time allowing the train to take curves more quickly. This mechatronic technology, merging proven technical components into an innovative system, enables double-deck intercity trains to increase their speed in curves by 15%, thus significantly reducing travel times. Thanks to Bombardier's innovative technology, SBB will save more than 1 billion Swiss francs in infrastructure upgrades to reduce travelling times between the railway hubs Lausanne and Bern as well as Zurich and St. Gallen. The FLEXX Tronic WAKO system was developed by the Bombardier CoE for bogie design in Winterthur in cooperation with other Bombardier bogies engineering centres in Europe.
