Aluminum for passenger trains

Rolling stock builders are looking for lightweight designs and tailored manufacturing, for structural profiles and

for exterior or interior components. We offer you even more.

Rolling stock for train bodies

Aluminum is one of the main materials used in the construction of train bodies. Applications include:

• Body sides (side walls)

• Roof and floor panels

• Cant rails, which connect the floor of the train to the side wall

Less finishing work

Aluminum in train car bodies offers light weight and a uniform and smooth surface – there are no “waves” in

the metal, as with steel. This means less finishing work after assembly and reduced production time.

Super-large aluminum components with friction stir welding

By using friction stir welding technology, we can offer you super-large components with thin walls. This means

tight tolerances and lower costs.

 Modern trains contribute toward the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions caused by passenger transport.

Modern materials like aluminum reduce their mass, helping the environment even more.
