Optimization of the structure of the type 20D locomotive.

The client has requested a thorough evaluation of the modernized structure of the SM48 (TEM2) locomotive to ensure compliance with the PN EN 12663-2: 2010 standard. Should any discrepancies arise, we are tasked with optimizing the structure to meet both immediate and operational strength criteria, inclusive of weld integrity.

Project description

The client has requested a thorough evaluation of the modernized structure of the SM48 (TEM2) locomotive to ensure compliance with the PN EN 12663-2: 2010 standard. Should any discrepancies arise, we are tasked with optimizing the structure to meet both immediate and operational strength criteria, inclusive of weld integrity.

Solution

Develop a comprehensive computational model to assess the structure, incorporating reinforcement suggestions which will be subject to continuous approval from the client.

In collaboration with the Tabor Dębica team, our CAE department diligently refined and fortified the structure over several weeks to ensure compliance with both strength and technological standards.

The result

Durable and load-resistant design after modification, tested by Endego engineers, will ensure safe operation for many years.

Electric Motors in Vehicles: How to Design an Efficient and Reliable E-Drive System 

An 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.
