Schaeffler unveils autonomous axle generator system for automated freight wagons at InnoTrans 2026
  • Schaeffler unveiled freight-wagon automation technology at InnoTrans 2026, centered on an axle generator, the ITRS onboard power system, and electromechanical actuators.
  • The axle generator targets self-sufficient onboard power, enabling digital coupling functions, sensor connectivity, tracking, automated brake testing, door systems.
  • ITRS combines Schaeffler’s generator with a Realtronik battery-management system; early pilot projects have moved into real-world testing.
  • Electromechanical linear actuators are positioned to replace pneumatic or hydraulic systems, cutting energy use via on-demand power, adding monitoring capability.
  • Hardware is designed for Y25 and UIC-standard bogies, supporting new-build installation, retrofit demand across Europe’s freight-wagon fleet.
