FOREWORD
Craiova has a tradi on in the construc on and repairing of
rolling stock, having worldwide recogni on for the products
forged in this part of the country. The companies Reloc and
Electroputere VFU Craiova are a standard for the Romanian
economy, represen ng na onal interests abroad and benefi ng
from the apprecia on of interna onal customers for the quality
and capabili es of the products which leave the gates of the two
factories.
Beginning with August 2012 the two companies joined
Grampet Group thus se ng the founda ons of reinven on and
revival of the rail industry in Oltenia region, its objec ves and
vision being materialized through the structures of the two
companies which provide produc on support, design,
maintenance, repairs, for different types of locomo ves.
The two companies complete the products por olio offered
by Grampet Group, being the emblema c enterprises which
consolidate the presence of Grampet na onally and
interna onally. Through the revival of the two companies under
the aegis of Grampet's experience in acquiring companies and
turning them into profitable en es, the company aims to
develop innova ve, sustainable, green railway products that
meet the European direc ves, the most demanding German
quality standards, required by TUV Austria, having the ul mate
goal to fulfill the most complex needs of the customers, to offer
customized services and products. It was here established an
important and unique research center in the railway industry in
this part of Europe, having the aim of bringing added value to the
Romanian tradi onal industry, making the first steps towards
reinven ng the company's compe ve posi on in the market.
We understand that in order to complete our vision, we need
to have a skilled, determined, and crea ve labor force, focused
on obtaining concrete results as an evidence of its involvement.
We believe in the poten al of our staff, we have confidence in
their abili es and, for that reason we have developed a major
program of gran ng scholarships in order to facilitate the access
of the young workforce on the labor market.
We have a long term vision and a commitment to the future
genera ons to provide them a safe workplace within the
Romanian industry.
We are striving with confidence towards the future, because
we have a long-term approach that takes into account not only
the opportuni es and challenges and the way we can benefit
from them, but also the obstacles and solu ons for overcoming
them so as to minimize the risks and to achieve the most efficient
alloca on of resources which maximize the income.
We have a global network of contacts, we are constantly
interested in diversifying our services and products por olio, we
have a stable network of customers, solid from the financial point
of view, which allow us a stable, safe and predictable evolu on, a
situa on not many players in this industry can pride themselves
with.
Our team is oriented towards achieving success, we know
that we have the necessary capabili es to meet all customers
requirements when it comes to locomo ves and we are certain
that if we place the customer in the center of our focus and we
manage to keep up with technology, only then will we have an
extended exposure that shall place us in the pole posi on in the
rail industry at European level, and why not, worldwide.
We are determined to keep locomo ves on tracks with
dedica on, pride, safety and stability as we have done for tens of
years. These are the values that represent us. Why stop now?

our main ac vi es
 repair and moderniza on works
Different repairs and moderniza ons are made within the
company, but also review works and different opera ons in
order to ensure the adapta on to the technological evolu ons
in the field, for various types of electric locomo ves, Diesel
electric locomo ves and Diesel hydraulic locomo ves, but also
for Diesel and electric mul ple units.
When the railway engines finish the repair cycle, these
opera ons guarantee traffic safety and security in the railway
system, in cri cal situa ons, having the aim to ensure the
highest opera onal reliability indicators in terms of number of
available units between two planned repairs.

adapts perfectly to the needs of the users with access to the railway lines, being used
for more complicated ac ons in depots, mines, ports, airports, steel plants, subways,
yards - including towing of the trams etc. This is why it's recommended as the most
versa le device for maneuver in the world.
Capital and opera ng costs are significantly reduced due to its excellent
opera ng performance level (reduced handling me), due to its reduced energy
consump on and to the necessary number of people engaged in the opera ons of
coupling – decoupling, having minimum needs regarding the maintenance works.
It is environmental friendly, completely non-pollu ng with zero CO2 emissions,
low noise and zero consump on of fuel.
Equipped with a remote control system of high performance, it has a range of at
least 10 hours of opera ng with fully charged ba eries and the ba ery pack can be

 Our main
ac vi es

Bogies
We repair bogies for locomo ves with powers
between 450 HP and 6700 HP.
The final tests of assembly are made on
specialized tes ng stands, cer fying the quality of
repair.

Trac on Motor
For the trac on motors with powers up to 900
kW, the repair process may lead to the total
rewinding of the stator and rotor, depending on the
complexity of the faults.
The final tests performed on the tes ng stand
cer fy the quality of the repair, according to UIC .

Turbo transmissions
We perform repairs on turbo-hydraulic
transmissions (transformers-couplings) with powers
up to 1250 HP.
The repaired turbo transmissions are tested
simultaneously with the locomo ve in order to
achieve the parameters established by norma ve.

Diesel engine
For diesel engines with powers up to 4000 HP,
repairs are performed by bringing the moving parts
which present wears due to opera on to the nominal
size. The repaired diesel engines are adjusted and
tested on the tes ng stand, acknowledging thus, the
quality of the repairs.

Main transformer
The main transformer repair is performed by
removing it from the tank and being brought to the
rated parameters. The repaired assembly is tested on
a special tes ng stand, according to UIC.

D.C. or A.C. generators

The repair process has a variable complexity,
being achieved through full rewinding of the stator
and rotor, for generators with powers up to 2800
kVA.
The repaired generators are tested on specialized
stands in order to check the func oning of all
parameters se led by the interna onal standards.

Laboratories
The Metrology Office and Laboratories,
authorized/cer fied by the Romanian Bureau of
Legal Metrology, performs tests and checks for:
Ÿ pressure;
Ÿ thermal sizes;
Ÿ electric;
Ÿ cinema c (speedometers);
Ÿ dura on;
Ÿ lengths.
Measuring apparatus are set i n nominal
opera ng parameters a er repairs. Metrological
checks are done in comparison with standards

The laboratory of physical-chemical and
mechanical tests performs physical-chemical and
mechanical analysis according to the technologies
and standards provided in the repairs process. The
laboratory is authorized by the Romanian Railway
Authority.

Tes ng stands
All the repaired equipment is tested both on the manufacturing flow and also when the product is finished, the
company being equipped with more than 100tes ng stands, cer fied by the competent authori es according to the
rules and legisla on in force. The stands are designed to allow tes ng the assemblies assemblies in similar opera ng
condi ons as the ones on the locomo ve.
A few examples of the tes ng stands we use:
Ÿ the stand with variable voltage 0-28 kV, 50 Hz, provided with contact line, wherewith is achieved the electric
locomo ves test;
Ÿ Diesel motor stand, with energy recovery group;
Ÿ pneuma c gear tes ng stand;
