Rail Vehicles Being Weighed<\/h4><\/div>

The weighing project at Pistoia focused on trains from the Masaccio family. These include the Class HTR.312 (three-car units) and Class HTR.412 (four-car units).<\/p>\n

Developed for Trenitalia, the \u201cBlues<\/strong><\/a>\u201d train is a next-generation regional train that combines battery and electric propulsion. It is designed to run on both electrified and non-electrified lines, helping reduce emissions while maintaining flexibility.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our Weighing Solution<\/h4><\/div>

To support production, we delivered a Multi-Railcar Weighing System<\/a><\/strong> tailored to Hitachi Rail Italy\u2019s requirements. This static system uses 10 Portable Train Weigher (PTW) units, allowing the full train to be weighed in a single operation.<\/p>\n

The system\u2019s user-friendly software<\/a> <\/strong>displays real-time wheel weights for the entire vehicle on a single laptop. Wireless communication between the weighing location and the interface ensures seamless data collection.<\/p>\n

Importantly, the system\u2019s modular design gives Hitachi the flexibility to reconfigure the equipment for smaller train sets or future needs. This scalable approach provides long-term value for ongoing production and testing.<\/p>\n

By providing accurate weight distribution data, our solution helps Hitachi Rail Italy meet rigorous safety, performance, and regulatory standards. It also plays a key role in supporting the efficient rollout of the \u201cBlues\u201d train\u2014a significant advancement in sustainable regional transport.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
