Lithuania: In the framework of a year-long pilot project, the Lithuanian state freight operator has installed this Belgian system on its five Eurorunner diesel locomotives.
These locomotives were supplied by Siemens Mobility in 2007–2009. Remote diagnostics will leverage the information gathered from the engine, brake and other systems of the vehicle.
The collected data will help LTG Cargo to develop a predictive diagnostic system, which will allow for assessing the actual condition of the rolling stock’s units and forecasting possible faults. If the tests are successful, the entire Eurorunner fleet comprising 44 vehicles will be fit with this system, which is expected to save €1.5 mln per year in locomotive repair and to decrease sufficiently their downtime.
