In modern train design, plastic parts play a central role in creating an attractive and functional interior. #Plastic in #train interiors offers several advantages, both in the current and future-oriented context:
💺 Flexibility in design: plastics offer great design freedom and enable the integration of complex functions such as lighting, sensors and interactive surfaces. This promotes the development of innovative, ergonomic and multifunctional interiors, including customizable seating areas and modern infotainment systems.
🔋 Weight reduction & efficiency: By reducing the overall weight of the train using lightweight plastic materials, not only is energy efficiency significantly increased, but operating costs are also sustainably reduced in order to meet the requirements for sustainable mobility in an increasingly energy-efficient future.
♻️ Sustainability & recyclability: Modern plastics made from recyclable materials reduce waste and conserve valuable resources. They minimize the ecological footprint and promote the achievement of ambitious sustainability goals in public transport.
🧯 Increased safety: Our EN 45545-certified plastic components offer maximum protection in the event of an emergency. They ensure passenger safety even under extreme conditions by effectively reducing fire and smoke development, thus facilitating safe evacuation in an emergency
