Mechanical design together with the development of supporting documentation and strength analyses of two tram bodies.
In 2014, on behalf of PESA Bydgoszcz SA, a comprehensive 2D and 3D mechanical design was carried out and documentation was developed with detailed strength analyses undertaken for: statics (EN12663), weld fatigue (DVS 1612) and crashworthiness (EN 15227) of the Jazz Duo tram. The collaboration continued in 2015. The project realised at that time included the preparation of detailed 2D mechanical documentation and a comprehensive strength analysis in terms of statics (EN 12663) and weld fatigue (DVS 1612) of the Krakowiak model.
The modern, functional and durable trams created according to the project are widely acclaimed and successfully operated. Jazz Duo is the most popular tram series in our country. It is used in Warsaw and Gdansk, Krakowiak, and is the largest tram running in Krakow. Despite its large capacity, it is capable of running along the familiar narrow-gauge route through the Old Town.
Cybersecurity in rolling stock has moved beyond a late-stage IT check and become a vehicle-engineering discipline. Network architecture, supplier responsibilities, software updates, secrets management and vulnerability handling all have to remain workable throughout a fleet’s service life.

Simulation does not remove the need for physical testing. It helps make the prototype a confirmation of a mature design rather than the first place where major structural weaknesses are discovered.
Read moreAn electric motor is only one component of a vehicle’s e-drive system. Efficiency, range, performance and durability depend on the combined operation of the motor, inverter, battery, battery management system (BMS), cooling system, transmission, control software and mechanical integration. Electric powertrain development should therefore address the complete system and the vehicle’s real operating profile from the outset.
