INDUSTRIES AND SECTORS FOR COMPOSITES

RAILWAY VEHICLES – INFRASTRUCTURE

High-strength composite materials offers opportunities for energy-efficient solutions with lower environmental impact and reduced maintanence costs within lightweight benefits for the rail infrastructure.

Composites offer significant improvements over traditional materials and provide innovative and sustainable solutions for various critical infrastructure projects. Increasing passenger requirements are making trains heavier and composites are beneficial to balance the weight also  reduce the infrastructure lifecycle costs.



Key advantages;

  • Material’s high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios,
  •  Lightweight final structures.
  •  Excellent corrosion and weather resistance suitable for long-lasting structures with reduced maintenance.







INDUSTRIES AND SECTORS FOR COMPOSITES

UTILIZATION

Fibre-reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) are commonly used in Rolling stock application such as trackbeds, gantries, vehicles/modules, interiors, lineside furniture and platform systems.

Composites latest technology and know-how enable cost-effectively fabricated FRP components that comply with stringent fire, smoke, and toxicity standards for a wide variety of rail infrastructure applications also accomplish further cost-effective weight reduction in rail vehicles.
