Urban mobility

The backbone of a modern city.

A modern, efficient light rail system has become a mark of a forward-looking city. Driven by technologies such as 5G, AI and IoT, light rail offers cities and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) a real opportunity to reach zero-emission goals, improve safety and reduce operating costs.

Our durable wheel is optimised to withstand wear and tear, improving the safety of light rail vehicles and lowering total life-cycle cost. Built from a tyre, wheel centre, retaining ring and rubber rings or blocks, it copes with rising axle loads and integrates seamlessly with the noise-absorbing Syope® system.
