ERIKS and Tfl open new traction motor facility in West London

Industrial service provider ERIKS has strengthened a collaboration with Transport for London (TfL) through the opening of a new engineering workshop in Greenford, West London. The re-furbished £1.2 million facility, dedicated solely to servicing TfL’s traction motors, enhances operational efficiency while supporting TfL’s wider goals of delivering measurable social value in the communities it serves.

Designed to meet TfL’s specific requirements, the Greenford facility has more than doubled its production capacity, ensuring more efficient maintenance of the traction motors that power the trains in London’s Tube network. 

Pamela Bingham, CEO of ERIKS UK & Ireland, commented: "This facility represents a significant milestone in our partnership with TfL. It not only enables us to deliver enhanced support for the capital’s transport network but also reflects our dedication to making a positive impact through local employment and education. By offering high-quality jobs and paid training opportunities, we are building a sustainable workforce that will benefit the area for years to come."
