Tramways
At the heart of sustainable urban mobility, tramways benefit from Hutchinson's high-performance solutions designed specifically for light rail vehicles, from door sealing to thermal management.

Tramways
Precision Sealing
A tram operates continuously throughout its urban route, exposed to water ingress at every stop. Our door seals and inter-car passage systems protect the trainsets in accordance with European railway standards.
Acoustics & Vibration
Frequent stops and starts transmit noise and vibration directly into the vehicle structure. Our anti-vibration mounts and engine mounts help reduce this transmission.
Thermal Management & Fluid Transfer
Daily tram operations continuously place demands on electrical equipment as well as hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. Our cooling solutions and hoses withstand these repeated vibrations.
Protection, Safety & Structure
Given the risk of fire, every material installed on a tram is tested by our Fire Testing Centre of Excellence to meet EN 45545 requirements.
Sensors / Detection & Measurement / Encoders
Frequent stops and the vibrations generated by urban traffic must never compromise tram speed measurement. Our magnetic rings remain reliable under these conditions.
