WaggonTracker sensors are powered by a generator integrated into the axle box cover, as well as a backup battery. This ensures reliable operation under all conditions.

Data is transmitted via a secure in-train radio channel. The system is fully compatible with the DAC digital automatic coupler planned for deployment across the EU.
