60582 | Vehicle Overhaul Program (Various, SEPTA)

SEPTA’s Vehicle Overhaul Program (VOH) provides for the systematic replacement or upgrade of systems on SEPTA's rolling stock and VOH support equipment. In addition to vehicle fleet overhauls, this program also provides for vehicle campaigns to address specific component overhaul needs of a bus or rail fleet. The VOH Program allows SEPTA to continue its overhaul of rolling stock, thus ensuring continued safe and reliable service, particularly for its increasingly aging rail vehicle fleet.
Vehicles are scheduled for overhauls during their service lives based on vehicle type and age to optimize performance throughout its useful service life. Prudent fleet management requires a program of preventive maintenance for optimal fleet reliability, service quality, efficient performance, and passenger comfort. Advanced scheduling of vehicle overhauls and campaigns allows SEPTA to purchase material and produce rebuilt components in an efficient and effective manner.
Highlights of the Fiscal Year 2023 program includes the following activities:
Bus Overhaul: 40-foot Nova hybrid buses, 60-foot Nova Articulated hybrid buses and prototypes for the midlife overhaul of New Flyer 40-foot Xcelsior and 30-foor MiDi Series fleets.
Rail Overhaul: Broad Street B-IV cars, City and Suburban trolleys, Regional Rail Silverliner IV and V cars, Regional Rail Push-Pull cars, Market Frankford M-4 cars, Route 15 PCC-II Trolley Cars, Norristown High Speed Line N-5 cars, and support vehicles and equipment.
Highlights of rail transit campaigns for Fiscal Year 2023 include: M-4 LCU Software Upgrade; M-4 carbody bolster repairs. Regional Rail campaigns include Push-Pull cab/coach center door overhaul, HVAC control box upgrade and various Silverliner IV equipment and system overhauls.
Zero Emission Bus Retrofit Pilot: Development and testing of battery-electric retrofit kits on twelve of SEPTA’s 40-foot diesel-hybrid buses.
