Over the years, Gupta Permold has earned an outstanding reputation as a high-quality manufacturer of high-performance mass transit propulsion products. In addition to complete components, the Mass Transit Division also offers several manufacturing products and services on a contractual basis. We strive to maintain the reputation we've earned each and every day and look forward to helping you on your next project.

The AC/DC traction motors we manufacture are for the drivetrain of mass transit vehicles such as people movers, subways, trains, etc. They must perform under the most rugged conditions imaginable. Thus, the quality requirements are very stringent and are often enforced via surprise source audits. In addition, all quality information must be fully documented and traceable for up to 7 years.

Not only should mass transit vehicles accelerate under the roughest conditions, but they should also stop as well. Our braking resistors are the heart of the Dynamic Braking System which allows large vehicles to decelerate from top speed to a cruise without jerking or jarring any passengers.
Our traction gear units allow for practically seamless transmission of power and torque. They are 100% tested for noise, vibration, speed, and temperature to ensure high performance years on end.
The mass transit division operates a state-of-the-art paint facility perfect for your next project. Our trained painters can use all types of paint to suit your requirements. Our extensive crane and material handling ability make large parts very routine to process. Contact us for details on our painting capability.
We also do flatwise and edgewise winding of all types of band metal including copper, iron, steel, etc.
