At this year's InnoTrans trade fair in Berlin, Plasser & Theurer and Siemens Mobility signed a partnership agreement on a future collaboration pertaining to ETCS on-board equipment. Siemens Mobility will act as supplier for the on-board ETCS system.

Plasser & Theurer has maintained a successful business relationship with Deutsche Bahn for 65 years, and many important track construction technologies were first put into operation on DB tracks. A total of 740 machines were delivered to DB, of which more than 150 are still in service.

The railway of tomorrow needs an efficient infrastructure network. In the case of ÖBB, the goal is to double capacity in Austria by 2040. Maintenance also has to keep pace and needs new concepts to meet that goal. To that end, ÖBB and Plasser & Theurer presented the Plasser CatenaryCrafter 15.4 E³ – a representative of a new green fleet of 56 maintenance vehicles – at InnoTrans on 24 September 2024.

At this year's InnoTrans, a new technology for reducing respirable particulate matter on railway construction sites will be presented to an international trade audience for the first time. HYPERION’s DURFOG will be used, in collaboration with Plasser & Theurer, on new track construction and maintenance machines in future. However, it is also available for retrofitting existing machines in the form of retrofit kits.

On 11 September, Plasser & Theurer, the global technology leader for track construction and maintenance machines, celebrated the ground-breaking ceremony for its new assembly and commissioning factory at the Pummererstrasse site in the Linz industrial area. With estimated construction costs of more than EUR 60 million, it is the largest single investment in Austria in the company's more than 70-year history. It is also significant for Upper Austria as an industrial location.

Local transport operating companies have special requirements in terms of inspecting and measuring infrastructure. They need more flexibility to perform measuring services quickly and easily on site. The Plasser InfraSpector Truck moves autonomously on roads and rails. It can be put on track and taken off again particularly fast in tight spaces.

The 14th edition of InnoTrans, the world’s leading trade fair for transport technology, will take place in Berlin from 24 to 27 September 2024. Plasser & Theurer will once again be among the exhibitors in the railway infrastructure sector. In line with the slogan “future track technology – NOW”, the company will present innovations that offer added value in the long term for the world’s railways.

It is important for our customers to have retrofits of existing machines completed in a short space of time. In this respect, the retrofit of the Unimat 09-32/4S Dynamic by STRABAG AG was a great success. After less than four months, the machine left Plasser & Theurer’s Life Cycle Service Competence Centre in Linz. It was back in operation immediately afterwards.
