Vossloh CEO Oliver Schuster said: “The permanent sensor-based monitoring of the rail track forms the basis for condition-based and in perspective predictive maintenance of rail infrastructure. The resulting higher availability of tracks is a central requirement for shifting more traffic to the railway in the future.

“This order will allow Vossloh to leverage its uniquely broad understanding of the physics of rail track to maximise customer value.

“We are pleased about the trust and the further strengthening of our successful cooperation with Trafikverket. This forward-looking order underscores our outstanding position as a supplier of products and solutions in the field of rail infrastructure.”

The turnout is one of the most technically complex and maintenance-intensive elements of the complete rail track and is of particular importance in the context of the intended and, in view of climate change, an indispensable turnaround in mobility.
