Driving Equipments Made By ICPE SAERP for Urban Electric Transport Vehicles

This paper on urban electric transit vehicles is from the proceedings of 14th International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment in the 21st Century, which was held in Malta in 2008. The authors are all affiliated with the company ICPE SAERP S.A., the main producer of the electric drives for urban traction and for railway vehicles in Romania. They briefly describe the last 57 years of evolution of these technologies, based on the development of the semiconductor and of the microprocessor control techniques. The next focus must be improvement of the passenger’s comfort and the downsizing of costs for public transportation companies, regarding trolleybuses and trams. The authors contend that these improvements can both be achieved by using modern electric drives (dc-choppers or 3-phase inverters), which can reduce the power consumption and can increase the control of the vehicle. They review these drives, how they can be used, and the resulting benefits.
