Over the next three years, HUBER+SUHNER will supply RADOX® cables for the series production of 54 carriages for new metro trains in a major Russian city. This is the first major order for HUBER+SUHNER from the Russian railway market based on the new approval.
The new trains were manufactured in a joint venture between Russian and Czech mechanical engineering companies. They consume 30 per cent less energy whilst also providing more comfort for passengers. HUBER+SUHNER advised both companies on technical matters and supplied the cables for testing. Following the successful completion of these tests, HUBER+SUHNER has now been appointed as the cable supplier for the production of all the new metro trains.
Almost the full range of RADOX® rail cables, including RADOX® databus cables and RADOX® signal and power cables, are used in the trains. These are particularly robust and safe and can withstand temperatures of -50 °C. Typical uses for the cables include supplying power to the lights and data transmission for information systems.
