|
|
In modern electric stock, various components of the power train are regulated and operated by an on-board computer. In many cases the corresponding software offers considerable potential for optimisation from an energetic point of view. In these cases a software modification of existing stock is an interesting option.

A software optimisation of the power train of existing stock will in many cases offer appreciable potential for energy savings. The feasibility and profitability of such a measure is to be assessed individually by experts. Generally large series are the most interesting candidates. When purchasing new stock, the degree of optimisation should be evaluated. |
