• Safety in trains: Voith engineers were involved in the calculation to find out how a vehicle should be structured, in order to ensure that the inner compartments remain largely undamaged in the event of an accident.
• Propeller for special vessels: Voith Engineers have contributed to the development of the Voith Radial Propeller (VRP). It can rotate by 360 degrees and create thrust in any direction. Its tasks: driving special vessels for towing wind power stations offshore.
• Power plant concepts for new fields of application: Voith engineers have developed an environmentally-friendly turbine generator unit called StreamDiver which is now able to harness hydro power where conventional power plants were previously out of place.
