### BFC G4

###### BOGIE BRAKE

##### BFC G4

##### A Compact and Light Solution for Bogie Brake

##### Braking force application and heat dissipation are handled by bogie-mounted equipment — a critical function in mass transit and mainlinesystems.

**Customer benefits**

##### WT’s BFC G4 Tread Brake Unit is the industry’s lightest and most compact solution, making it the most cost-effective choice for metro fleets, but not only.

##### With more than 300,000 units in service globally, the BFC G4 has a proven track record of reliability and performance across major rail systems.

##### Its lightweight design supports energy efficiency and ease of integration, making it the ideal solution for modern operations focused on sustainability and lifecycle cost optimization.

##### Modular Disc Brake Station

##### Bogie brake equipment plays a critical role in applying braking force and dissipating kinetic energy — essential for safe and efficient train operations.

##### In mass transit systems, this is achieved either directly on the wheel via Tread Brake Units (TBU) or on the disc via Disc Brake Units (DBU).

##### WT’s C3/C3s Disc Brake Units are engineered for versatility, suitable for all braking applications — from to high-speed trains — and across diverse operating environments.

##### Built on a modular architecture, they offer two caliper types (AMD and WMD) and three cylinders configurations (Service, Service + Parking, and Service + Parklock), allowing seamless adaptation to project-specific needs.

**Customer benefits**

##### Easy to install and maintain, the C3/C3s units are available with a wide range of options, making them a reliable and cost-effective choice for modern rail fleets.

### Magnetic Track Brake

###### BOGIE BRAKE

##### Magnetic Track Brake

##### Magnetic Track Brake

##### Expecially for emergency brake performances sometimes is requested the use of adhesion independent brake like Magnetic Track Brake (MTB).

##### At Wabtec, we offer a comprehensive range of MTB, including low suspension for LRV application and high suspension options for Mainline, tailored for each applications.

##### Designed according to EN16207 and with attraction force variable up to 100kN, WT MTV aim to maximize frictional efficiency.

**Customer benefits**

### Disc

###### BOGIE BRAKE

##### DISC brakes

##### The Right Disc for Each Application

##### WT’s disc portfolio includes both Monoblock and Segmented Discs, available in three material options — Grey Cast Iron, High-Grade Cast Iron (HGCI), and Steel — selected based on the energy dissipation requirements of each application.

##### For most regional operations, the HGCI segmented disc offers significant lifecycle cost advantages, thanks to its ease of installation and maintenance, and its superior resistance to cracking and coning — resulting in a longer service life.

##### Featuring an innovative fixing design and optimized ventilation, WT discs reduce drag and enable disc reuse when its lifespan exceeds that of the wheel — maximizing value and sustainability for operators.

### EVO1

###### BOGIE BRAKE

##### EVO1

##### High Force Disc Brake Unit

##### For disc brake applications requiring high clamping force (More than 70 kN), EVO 1 is our preferred solution. EVO 1 is the perfect solution for vehicle with one disc per axle.

##### EVO 1 is available for both axle mounted discs & wheel mounted discs. It can be delivered either with Service brake or with Service + Parking, ensuring flexibility across various train architectures.

##### Engineered for performance, reliability, and ease of maintenance, EVO 1 combines robust braking capability with a compact design — making it a smart choice for modern metro and regional fleets focused on safety, efficiency, and lifecycle cost optimization.
