Front Cabs for Trams

Manufacture of a front cab including aprons for urban public transit. The design combines strict requirements for industrial design and pedestrian protection with maximum ease of maintenance for the tight urban depots.

Highlights

The integration of an openable front flap (coupler) for connecting two vehicles. This GRP structure blends invisibly into the flowing design of the vehicle front, yet can be quickly opened up during maintenance or towing operations to ensure immediate access to the coupling technology behind it.
