Europe I
Alstom Flexity Berlin
HÜBNER is supplying more than 460 gangways for the Alstom Flexity in Berlin (low-floor trams). The gangways consist of a corrugated bellows, a turning plate and pitching articulation.
Europe II:
VDV Tram-Train in Germany/Austria
In an initial order, HÜBNER is supplying up to 1.008 gangway systems for the VDV Tram-Train project. It is the largest order in Stadler’s history, which the manufacturer secured following an international tender involving six transport companies from Germany and Austria. The contract also includes a service agreement over a period of up to 32 years.
Thinking globally, acting locally
HÜBNER worldwide – Current lighthouse projects
Systems and applications coming from the HÜBNER Group are currently being used in numerous important rail transport projects around the world. The advantage: With more than 30 locations worldwide in 17 countries, the HÜBNER Group can produce in a very targeted and customized way and typically in the direct vicinity of customers. This facilitates a high level of delivery reliability thanks to short delivery routes – and reduces emissions at the same time. An overview of selected projects:
A world first for public transport
Innovative steering system
for high-capacity buses
To put it simply, high-capacity buses are streetcars that run on rubber wheels – or trackless trams. They consist of three vehicle segments with a total of six axles and two gangways. Vehicle transport capacity is approximately 300 passengers.
High-capacity buses combine the advantages of both buses and trams – and they can be integrated into existing transport infrastructure without requiring the construction of a rail network. This makes them particularly suitable for cities that need expanded transport capacities in a short period of time.
Why world first?
For the safe operation of high-capacity buses, a reliable steering system is essential. This must intelligently link all the six axles of the vehicle to allow for optimal control in urban traffic. The steering technology developed by the HÜBNER Group is designed so that in the event of a malfunction there is no danger for passengers or the surrounding area.
With this innovation, the HÜBNER Group is offering a unique feature in this area. Until now, there is no other system for road vehicles that can control more than two axles to this degree and provide safe steering operation.
Live at InnoTrans 2022: The new steering system in operation
The steering system from HÜBNER will be shown in operation one time per hour each day of the exhibition in the outdoor area (Booth O/220). The first demonstration will take place at 9:30 a.m. and the last exhibition at 5:30 p.m.
