Environmentally friendly

Our technologies and solutions are based on eco-design principles: low noise, high energy efficiency (including regenerative braking, natural cooling), high recyclability and reduced lifecycle costs. As a result of continuous efforts to limit the environmental impact of its products, we have developed low-carbon alternatives to conventional traction systems, for operation on non-electrified lines, such as hydrogen fuel-cell-based traction systems and energy-storage-based traction systems.
