Strategy for a Win-Win Situation

• Chinese manufacturers are seen as a threat by EU
  rolling stock groups
• Essential to -
• Highlight advantages to stakeholders
• Build relationships with local companies
• Consultants
• Suppliers
• After Sales Support organisations
• Maximize the opportunities for localisation
• Introduce finance solutions.

25
Localisation of Final Assembly

• China gains advantage on labour intensive and
  highly automated processes
• Advantageous to carry out certain final assembly
  work in end-user territory
• Desire to establish facilities in Western
  Eastern Europe
• Good access to deep sea port and main line
  railway connection critical
• Exploring all options.

26
Electrification and DMUs (1)

• HLOS DMU Project superseded following
  electrification announcement
• New DfT Rolling Stock Plan expected before the
  end of the year
• Class 319 EMUs to be cascaded to free up DMUs for
  further cascade
• In theory, everything cascades down, with Pacers
  falling out of the bottom
• Too little, too late!

27
Electrification and DMUs (2)

• Recent thinking has involved bringing stock in at
  top of food chain and cascading down
• Superseded HLOS DMU project highlights that this
  concept is flawed nobody able to make a
  satisfactory business case
• Necessary to introduce new stock at the bottom of
  the food chain, firstly superseding Pacers and
  later Sprinters, enabling upward cascade to
  infill where overcrowding exists.

28
Electrification and DMUs (3)

• Pacers need to be replaced now, not in 2016
• Offset capital cost against -
• lower maintenance cost
• better reliability
• much lower fuel consumption and
• lower emissions
• Cost neutral over ten years
• But rolling stock must be low cost to purchase
  and to maintain.

29
Electrification and DMUs (4)

• Network Rail says -
• Electrics 50 cheaper to run
• Electrics 33 cheaper to maintain
• Electrics 90 more reliable
• Electrics emit up to 30 less CO2
• But -
• Diesels need no OHLE maintenance
• Diesels dont depend on OHLE reliability
• CO2 statement relies on green energy.

30
Green diesels

• Partnership with Voith Turbo, Germany
• Voith Eco Excellence to deliver optimum life
  cycle cost, including fuel economy
• Three stage process -
• Software tools to evaluate optimum life cycle
  cost in the design of the train
• Services to optimise the operation of the train,
  using driver training and simulation aids
• On-board equipment to assist fuel efficient
  driving.

• Training course for supervisors and drivers to
  achieve fuel efficient and reliable driving
• Lessons to understand the basics of the power
  transmission system
• On-the-job training with a driving simulator or
  on the vehicle
• Final exam and certificate for the participants.

Equipment for Green Diesels (2)

• KEC Technology
• (Kinetic Energy Capture)
• Enables regenerative braking on DMUs
• Enables silent starting from stations
• Eliminates diesel fumes from stations
• Further reduces fuel consumption
• Reduces CO2 emissions

Summary

• Electrification is a good thing, but will not
  provide the whole solution
• Bottom up DMU replacement required, starting with
  superseding Pacers
• Low product cost through realistic specification
  and low cost manufacturing
• Low life cycle cost through innovative tools,
  services and equipment.
