Wheelset: safety, comfort, optimized costs
Being the interface between the train and the rail infrastructure, wheelsets carry the whole weight of rolling stock, at speeds up to 450 kph. Each wheelset is thus the safety critical component for any rail-bound vehicle. Wheelsets move passengers, or go through populated areas, so comfort as well as respect to quality of life and the environment play increasingly important roles.
Transporting of freight and passengers is a service as any other one, and so we help the rail system to stay competitive with other modes of transport. Robust and service-proven design, with strict standards of manufacturing quality and a thoroughly studied maintainability ensures all of the above and many other aspects.
