Dürr Technik Launches Next-Gen E-Bull Oil-Free Piston Compressor

Dürr Technik is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of its next generation E-Bull.
The redesigned oil-free air compressor is fully compatible with the latest rail standards across the UK and Europe, as well as many other regions around the world.
The original E-Bull model was a revolutionary compressor for the rail industry. Launched in 2020, the compact yet high-power compressor was developed for use in small spaces where height was at a premium. In addition, its fully sealed design made it well suited for placement underneath trains, as it would be protected from the elements – in particular dust and water.
Redesigned to Meet the Needs of Today’s Rail Customers
In response to industry feedback, the company’s engineers have redesigned and upgraded the compressor to enable its use in even smaller spaces, all while retaining – and in some cases improving – its key features.
This work was undertaken to support a variety of developments in the rail sector, where rail vehicles are designed with accessibility and sustainability in mind. These changes mean a reduction in space available due to low-height floors or the addition of batteries and/or fuel cells. With this in mind the E-Bull was redesigned to be even more compact, and can be built within stations with even lower heights.
