Traction, signaling and monitoring solutions — contact us. date: 2026-02-12 modified: 2026-02-24 lastUpdated: 2026-04-13 --- # Railway Technology - Custom Electric Drive Solutions Driving innovation in special purpose mobility ============================================== WITTENSTEIN delivers safe electrification solutions for specialized vehicles worldwide. We design and deliver customized electric drive systems that keep your trains moving reliably. From SIL 4-certified software to on-board power solutions, we help you meet today’s challenges and tomorrow’s goals. ![](https://www.wittenstein-group.com/fileadmin/_processed_/5/8/csm_railway-technology-teaser_47b413ad25.webp) We have the capability to develop, manufacture, and deliver high-availability, customized servo drives, motors, and entire drive systems in series production. Our converters and motors are our own developments, and we know the robustness required of these components for daily train operation. Areas of application can include: - Traction drives & generators: maximum power and efficiency for reliable train propulsion under all conditions - Signaling and interlocking technology: stable energy conversion for consistent performance on every route. - Train control and safety systems: robust components for train control and safety systems, meeting the highest integrity standards - Track monitoring - Electrical actuators with functional safety for infrastructure ##### Optimized High power density and efficiency ##### Protection Suitable shock and vibration resistance ##### Hardy Withstand extreme conditions wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C ![](https://www.wittenstein-group.com/fileadmin/_processed_/2/e/csm_digital-environment_6ef0f3cf78.webp) We develop our own drive software in accordance with SIL 3 in line with the EN 50128 standard. EN 50128 is a European standard derived from IEC 61508, defining requirements for developing safety-related software for railway applications—both trackside and onboard. Most SAFERTOS® rail developers use the Industrial DAP, supporting certification to IEC 61508 SIL 3. For companies needing compliance with EN 50128, WITTENSTEIN provides all required information within the DAP, including a cross-reference matrix mapping DAP content to EN 50128. Typical SAFERTOS® rail applications include signaling, control, and communication systems.
