Passenger Metro
Paris Metro MF19 trainsets, for example, incorporate Hutchinson solutions that contribute both to passenger comfort and to the modernisation of the network. Near-continuous operation creates intense operating demands, with frequent stops and continuous braking loads.

Precision Sealing
An inter-car passage or metro door withstands tens of thousands of cycles every year without compromising its sealing performance. Our systems maintain this consistency, station after station.
Acoustics & Vibration
Repeated braking and acceleration generate forces that can easily be amplified by the underground environment. Our anti-vibration systems absorb these forces, helping reduce noise throughout the tunnel.
Thermal Management & Fluid Transfer
The braking and ventilation systems of a metro train operate under near-continuous duty cycles. Our low- and high-pressure circuits supply them reliably, without interruption.
Protection, Safety & Structure
Evacuation conditions in tunnels are particularly constrained, making the fire performance of onboard materials especially critical. Our materials are validated by our Fire Testing Centre of Excellence against the requirements of EN 45545.
Sensors / Detection & Measurement / Encoders
Reliable braking and precise stopping at stations depend on accurate measurement of axle speed and position. Our magnetic rings and eddy-current sensors provide the required level of accuracy.
