Rolling Stock Optimized for Productivity
Optimized Performance for our Customers Railway operators are demanding safer and more cost competitive rolling stock than ever before. For locomotives, these demands often translate into improved crashworthiness, more power and greater fuel efficiency. For freight vehicles, competitive advantage typically means higher axle loads, higher gross to tare ratios and longer trains. For passenger cars in both light and heavy rail applications, crashworthiness, speed, capacity and comfort are important expectations to be met.
