Rail Interiors from Gurit
Composites provide light-weight solutions for railway vehicles saving as much as 30% to 60% of the weight compared with traditional components. Lower overall weight translates into less stress, faster acceleration and higher speeds, as well as reduced starting and stopping inertia which are all important criteria in recent high-speed and metropolitan railway projects in Europe and China.
