###### Articulation joints

###### Lightweight interface solutions for bogie and carbody connections

###### Articulation joints for bogies and train systems are engineered to provide smooth and robust connection between two vehicle car bodies sharing a common bogie for passenger rolling stock type P-II acc. to EN 12663-1 e.g. fixed units and coaches. Designed for both new and existing vehicle platforms, they ensure efficient transfer of traction, braking and lateral loads while supporting smooth vehicle articulation.

###### Articulation joint solutions benefit from enhanced engineering capabilities and a broader rail technology portfolio, supporting continued innovation in performance, safety and system integration.
All articulation joints are manufactured according to customer specifications and applicable standards to meet defined force and operational requirements.

###### Optimized for performance and weight

###### The latest generation of articulation joints has been developed with a strong focus on weight reduction and compact design. Engineered for easy integration and installation, they provide reliable load transfer while minimizing space and weight requirements at the vehicle interface.

###### Flexible crash energy management

###### Articulation joints are available as rigid solutions without energy absorption or can be equipped with integrated energy absorption elements. This enables optimized management of impact energy between vehicles, supporting enhanced crash performance and passenger safety.
