BOTSWANA RAILWAYS ADVANCES FLEET REHABILITATION WITH 12 TRACTION MOTORS

Botswana Railways yesterday received 12 refurbished traction motors from Namibia Armature Rewinders as part of our ongoing rehabilitation programme.Traction motors are electric motors that power the wheels of a locomotive, making them essential to the movement and performance of our trains. These motors are a key part of a 24-unit order, with the remaining 12 units sent out for refurbishment today. While the 12 is not all units, they will substantially help improve the reliability and performance of our trains, ensuring better service for our customers. This milestone supports our short-term strategy to improve fleet performance and longevity. It also contributes to greater operational efficiency, improved safety standards, and reduced maintenance costs and downtime, benefits that extend to both our operations and the customers we serve. Our commitment to investing in our fleet ensures that we continue to provide the reliable transportation services.
