Public urban rail transport - at the pulse beat of the cities

Global urbanization and the pushing back of downtown automobile traffic require increasingly efficient and available public transport systems. Especially for rails the highest wear resistance is required in order to cope successfully and economically with the growing demands (such as often extremely small curve radii, "minute intervals" between trains, maintenance activities limited to short time spans, etc.)

For commuter train and underground railway curves with a radius of less than 500 m, head-hardened HSH^®  rails certainly provide the most economical solution owing to their average threefold wear resistance.

For tramway tracks, too, a maximum of wear resistance has topmost priority, and it can be attained with the deployment of head-hardened grooved rails.
