Kiepe Electric Inc.: Electric Traction Equipment

Kiepe Electric Inc.

Vossloh Kiepe designs and builds 100-percent “zero emission,” electric propulsion equipment for urban transit vehicles including metro, light-rail, megatrolleys and trolleybuses. More than 2,000 urban transit vehicles have been outfitted with Vossloh Keipe AC traction systems since the early 1990s, the company says. The first 80-foot bi-articulated, quad-axle megatrolleys with twin axle drive systems have been ordered by the cities of Geneva, Zurich and Lucern, Switzerland. Hybrid drive systems are also available. Vossloh Kiepe is part of the Vossloh Group of companies, specialist suppliers for rail and urban transit technologies.
