TSA Generators for the IEP Programme

TSA has secured a contract with MTU (Tognum Group) for the supply of traction generators related to diesel power-packs for the Super Express Fleet of the UK government’s Intercity Express Programme (known as the „IEP”).
The generators will be specially designed to work with MTU’s novel type 12V 1600 R80L diesel engines that meet EU Stage IIIB emmissions regulations.

Hitachi Rail Europe is responsible for building the new highspeed trains that will be deployed on various intercity routes within the UK network and should enter commercial service by 2017.

The delivery of the power-packs is scheduled to take place between 2013 and 2018.
