Rail travelers and interested people will have the chance to get information about the broad range of HÜBNER mobility products at the company’s Rail Day stand in the station. The HÜBNER product range extends from customized gangway systems for trains as well as buses, to door safety and entry systems for public transport vehicles, to chassis technology, cockpit displays in the cabs of locomotives, plus applications for airport technology.
