According to the World Health Organisation (WHO)’s most recent survey of 4300+ cities worldwide, only 20% of the urban population surveyed live in areas that comply with WHO air quality guideline levels – average air pollution levels in many cities and suburban areas can be up to 4-to-15 times higher than WHO air quality guideline levels, putting many at risk of long-term health problems. The PM emissions of urban rail is related to combustion, friction brakes and tyre abrasion.

Wabtec Green friction solutions represent the latest generation of eco-friendly friction brake components for both metro and mainline applications able to drastically reduce emissions at the source.

We offer prompt detailed design process with validation of gain of friction particles emssions and performance validation on full scale test benches.
