With an enhanced design, GNB's newest KDZ KDZ Kommunale Datenzentrale (Mainz, Germany) products for rolling stock rolling stock Any of various readily movable transportation equipment such as automobiles, locomotives, railroad cars, and trucks. Rolling stock generally makes good collateral for loans because the equipment is standardized and easily transportable among applications are helping to satisfy some important railway market issues, including the need for longer intervals between parts maintenance; larger power demands placed on locomotive battery systems; as well as the requirement for increased performance, reliability and overall rail network dependability. For example, designed to double battery watering intervals from 90 days to 180 days, the KDZ-501 and the KDZ-651 batteries can increase operational time between routine locomotive maintenance and offer a reliable solution for high temperature operation. These industry concerns, in conjunction with input and guidance from GNB's key partners in the locomotive industry, served as the impetus for the design changes for the next generation of GNB's newest KDZ products. The new Liberator([R]) KDZ-501 and KDZ-651 batteries replace the KDZ-500 and KDZ-650 batteries in GNB's product lineup.
