Duration: 3,5 hours
Price per person:  inclusive for registered participants

Within ÖBB Train Tech, the Linz factory is responsible for the safe and professional maintenance and repair of a large part of the ÖBB locomotive fleet, including 113 Vectron and 382 Taurus locomotives. In addition, important components such as traction motors, bogies, drive units and traction wheel sets are also refurbished at the Linz plant.

The Train Tech factory in Linz not only carries out work for ÖBB, but also for customers from half of Europe. For example, railway companies from Germany, Sweden, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia and Italy are among the customers of the Upper Austrians. Up to 150 traction unit overhauls and 1,500 traction motors or 1,900 traction wheel sets are refurbished in Linz every year.

The halls at the Train Tech factory in Linz have a total area of 61,000 square metres.

The ÖBB factory in Linz looks back on a long tradition: it was built in 1860 and has since developed from a factory for steam locomotives and passenger carriages into an indispensable hub and one of the top addresses in Europe for the maintenance, modernisation and repair of modern locomotives and their components.

 Thank you ÖBB for the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes.
