CFD is a historic player in the railway industry, a manufacturer of railway equipment with several hundred locomotives, railcars or funiculars produced and delivered over the last 70 years, and which have criss-crossed rails and switches all over the world, on all types of gauges (wide, normal or metric) and all types of tracks.
The new generation of CFD rolling stock adopts the latest technologies, offering unparalleled performance while maintaining the historic CFD spirit of simplicity and robustness. We offer various electrical transmission solutions (direct current, alternating current and permanent magnets) that can be powered by an internal combustion engine, via a pantograph on catenary or by an on-board energy storage unit
Our machines are built to last, favouring the maximum use of technical solutions with a high life cycle and components designed and manufactured by us. In particular, CFD manufactures its own bogies, reduction axles, gearboxes or traction motors in order to guarantee perfect control of our range of railway rolling stock, from design to commissioning, and to guarantee the supply of spare parts throughout the life of the machines Because not all railway companies have a maintenance workshop, the constraints of rolling stock maintenance are integrated throughout the design and manufacture of our railway vehicles, to be able to carry out preventive maintenance operations without under-body or pit work, or lifting equipment or specific tooling
A wide choice of equipment for line traction, shunting of freight wagons in marshalling yards or for passenger transport.
Our new range of rolling stock is designed to meet the needs and requirements of our customers, but as each need is specific, we adapt our products, if necessary, regardless of the number of machines to be manufactured. You can use our online configurator to help you find the right rolling stock for you by adapting your search by towing load, number of driven axles, axle load, maximum speed and diesel engine power. Whatever your project, do not hesitate to contact us, our design office will study in detail all your requests and specifications.
