Regional, Intercity and High-Speed Rail
On regional, intercity and high-speed trains, Hutchinson supports manufacturers with suspension, sealing and protection solutions. A regional, intercity or high-speed train puts comfort and quiet first, two qualities its suspensions must deliver before the slightest track irregularity reaches the car body.

Precision Sealing
Air intakes and pressure variations in tunnels require continuous sealing across all inter-car passages and doors. Our systems meet this requirement throughout the journey.
Acoustics & Vibration
Track irregularities should never be felt inside the carbody, even at high speed. Our secondary suspension systems absorb them before they reach passengers.
Thermal Management & Fluid Transfer
A passenger train must maintain thermal comfort regardless of external conditions. Our transfer systems supply the air-conditioning and braking systems to ensure comfort in every season.
Protection, Safety & Structure
All materials installed on a passenger train pass through our Fire Testing Centre of Excellence, supporting the approval process in accordance with EN 45545.
Sealing & Profiles
Noise and air infiltration are two key weaknesses of a poorly designed door or window. Our extruded profiles provide both acoustic and pressure sealing to address these issues.
Sensors / Detection & Measurement / Encoders
Reliable braking at every station stop depends on accurate measurement of axle speed and position. Our magnetic rings and eddy-current sensors provide this accuracy.
