Electric
traction motors are the most common means for powering locomotive engines in
the currently developed railway industry, but with the growing need for
sustainable use of energy, the advent of the application of traction motors has
added to an efficient use and distribution of energy in the industry. Electric
traction motors are widely being used across several geographies particularly
for the routes with dense traffic such as the suburban and urban railways or
the long distance high speed lines that require electric traction to obtain the
speeds required for inter-city travel. This equipment cut down energy losses to
an estimated figure of approximately 15% with an assumption of energy at wheel
of 100%. With application of new traction chain, energy inputs in locomotives
decrease from 167% to around 143% under the similar assumptions. Application of
electric traction motors in railway engines result in cut in energy loss
wherein for transformers it reduces from 10.3% to 7%, converters from 18.1% to
4.7%, gearbox and motor from 18.2% to 12.2%, vehicle parking 7.6% 8.4% (higher
percentage value due to reduced total loses) and power house & auxiliary
systems from 12.4% to 9.9%.
The global electric
traction motors market is anticipated to reach USD 31.5 billion by 2026
according to a new study published by Polaris Market Research.

DC traction motors were
conventionally the moist used types on both electric and diesel-electric
rolling stock, however the contemporary power electronics has enabled
application of AC motors. For most of the new engines built today, AC motor is
the most preferred type. AC motors have certain advantages such as its simple
for manufacturing as this type requires no mechanical contracts for its
functioning, lighter compared to DC motors for equivalent amount of power. Use
of modern and advanced electronics allows the AC units to be controlled
efficiently to improve traction and adhesion. It can be controlled with
microprocessors to a specific degree which also helps in regenerating current
down to almost a stop whereas DC regeneration fades quickly at low speeds.
Moreover, AC motors are more robust and easier to maintain than DC motors.
These products are also being used in electric vehicles, conveyors and
industrial machinery in the present industry space. It automobiles too, more
than DC the AC motors has the larger share of application.
Asia
Pacific region is expected to be the fastest growing market for production of
electric traction motors over the forecast period from 2018 to 2026.
Development of the industrial equipment manufacturing industry in India, Japan
and especially China with its massive domestic demand figures is the major
driving factors for the regions fast increasing consumption of these products
in the railway engine manufacturing industry.

The worldwide demand for freight
and passenger rail equipment including its infrastructure and related services
in 2016 was estimated USD 214 billion in 2016. The increasing network of
railways globally is a major factor to contribute to the increasing demand of
rail equipment including the electric traction motors.
The Western Europe has been
dominating the global market for production of these products and also in terms
of exports, followed by the Asia Pacific and the U.S. in the third position.
But the increasing subways and urban light railway systems and yearly
increasing investment in intercity high-speed rail lines in Asia Pacific
countries due to need from its growing population, manufacturing industry of
these products in the region is likely to witness the fastest growth in the
next eight years. Some of the leading industry participants include Weg Sa,
Toshiba, Skoda Electric, NIDE, General Electric (GE), CG Power, Bosch, Siemen,
Traktionssysteme Austria, Alsto and Crr.
