SHUNTING VEHICLES

Shunting Vehicle It enable the maneuvering of railway vehicle trains at short distances without starting the towing cars. Electric shunting vehicles provide fuel savings, shorter maintenance times, increased occupational safety, and improved operational performance with more efficient and flexible mobility compared to locomotives, trams, high-speed trains, and subways. Electric shunting vehicles, which can also be manufactured to move on railways and roads, offer flexible and fast operation in areas such as workshops, warehouses, and maintenance stations.
