Weight savings
Every Kilogram Makes a Difference
Aluminium is a highly versatile material offering numerous performance benefits, especially in rail vehicle engineering. Since rail vehicles are designed for long service lives of at least 30 years, every kilogram of weight reduction translates into substantial savings in track access charges over time.
