As announced at the last Congress in Graz, in the group wide project “Identification of the wear reduction potential of the ÖBB-fleet locomotives" some prototypes have been tested for one year and the measured data was analysed. In this paper the vehicle based measures like the special bogie equipment, the monitoring of the wheel wear and the accomplished test runs for investigation of the traction force are presented. Additionally the infrastructural measures like building the specific measuring site in Schwechat, the monitoring of the dynamic forces and the test runs over other measuring sites are introduced.
