### BFC G4

###### BOGIE BRAKE

##### BFC G4

##### A compact and light solution for bogie brake

**Customer benefits**

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

##### 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 high-speed trains — and across diverse operating environments.

##### Built on a modular architecture, they offer two caliper types (AMD and WMD) and three cylinder 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

##### 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 Brakes

##### Monoblock and Segmented discs for high energy applications

##### In high-speed rail, where energy increases exponentially with velocity, steel brake discs are the go-to solution.

##### At Wabtec, we offer a comprehensive range ofsteel discs, includingwheel-mountedandaxle-mountedoptions, tailored for high-speed applications.

For speeds up to 250 km/h, our segmented wheel-mounted discs deliver key advantages: simplified maintenance without wheel removal, superior resistance to cracking and coning, extended lifespan, and the ability to reuse the disc after wheel replacement — a major benefit for high-speed trains that rely minimally on friction braking. For speeds above 250 km/h, we offer monoblock discs.

Additionally, our discs feature aerodynamically optimized ventilation, minimizing drag and reducing energy consumption — a critical factor in high-speed train efficiency.
