Abstract: The invention relates to a rail vehicle (1) comprising a first passenger car and a powerpack (2) having a longitudinal axis, the powerpack (2) and the passenger car being coupled together. The powerpack (2) comprises at least one fuel cell (20) and at least one fuel tank (21) having a fuel tank valve (33). The powerpack (2) is mounted on at least one bogie. The rail vehicle (1) comprises at least one driven bogie which can be supplied with electrical energy from the fuel cell (20).

Abstract: An apparatus to process a plurality of electrical wires as well as a method that uses the apparatus are indicated. The apparatus includes a feed device, a stationary holding device, a holding device that is non-stationary along a linear guiding direction, a non-stationary bundling device that is separate from the non-stationary holding device and a controller connected to a drive of the non-stationary bundling device. The stationary holding device and/or the non-stationary holding device are configured to twist the respectively held end of the wires; The controller controls the drive in such a way that a distance between a bundling segment of the non-stationary bundling device and the non-stationary holding device assumes a specified or a specifiable distance.

Abstract: An actuating drive (60), that can be fed by a battery (6), for an actuator (5) comprises a drive unit (61) for operating the actuator (5), and a control unit (62), capable of communicating with an external station (70) in a wireless fashion, for controlling the drive unit (61). The control unit (62) can be fed via a voltage regulator (64) connected to the battery (6), while the drive unit (61) is directly connected to the output voltage (UB) of the battery (6). The energy consumption of the actuating drive (60) can be optimized in order to achieve a long service life for the battery.
