How maglev trains work Maglevs are the fastest trains in the world, capable of reaching 274 miles per hour. How can they reach such high speeds? https://lnkd.in/dxs3w-ym

Transport technology for the future is fascinating.

Please find another real-life example of collision on tracks with derailment as the consequence: https://lnkd.in/dRMYYsbu   Low speed collision with similar behavior of the intermediate coaches (de-escalation interfaces 2, 3 etc.) after the collision on track. As the train moves faster, more energy is stored and increases the wheel lift and displacement of coaches in collision.   With Green Buffers, we make the necessary soft initiation of the first crash zones during time of impact, followed by the multi-step characteristics of energy absorption, similar to what the automotive industry is already using. The crash system improves the controlled energy balance by optimizing the available collapsing stroke in each interface.   The system is easy to mechanically upgrade on non-crash-proof and limited crash-proof trains and of course easy to implement on new trains. Quick and easy replacement of the dedicated elements (Strenx®) after accidents reduces the total cost of ownership of the trains through reduced repair costs and downtime for trains and tracks. Let us continue the journey of improvement and the progress made in the safety culture of the rail industry and let us be inspired by other transport industries.     #railwaysafety #StayOnTrack #Sustainable #Availability #Reshoring #SSAB  #STRENX #BILFINGER #Cooperation #Partnership #GreenBuffers #DalarnaSciencePark   #AWARDS; Stiftelsen SKAPA Foundation in memory of Alfred Nobel and the Swedish Steel Prize by SSAB

Development of High Speed Vacuum Trains by China

The Evolution of Trains: From Steam to Speed Since the 1900s, trains have evolved from steam engines to cutting-edge electric and diesel locomotives. High-speed rail, like Japan’s Shinkansen and Europe’s TGV, redefined travel in the mid-20th century. Now, with hydrogen-powered and autonomous trains on the horizon, the future of rail is greener and more efficient than ever. The journey of trains mirrors our push for innovation and sustainability. 🚄🌍 #RailEvolution #SustainableTransport #RailIndustry __________________________________________________________________________________ Follow me for more videos like this: Cullan Alexander If you are interested in specialised rail recruitment services, please drop me a message 📩

🌍🚐 The worldwide push for electrifying transport has often overlooked the paratransit sector. While progress is evident in the electrification of 2- and 3-wheelers in Africa and Asia, the transition for minibuses remains challenging. In East Africa, where the formalization of paratransit services and mass transit systems is underway, there is a unique opportunity to discuss and enable the electrification of minibuses. Right now, the first regional exchange on minibus electrification is taking place, bringing together government decision-makers, researchers, and experts to modernize the minibus sector across the continent. Here are some first impressions of this event, organized by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH's IKI-funded Mobilize Net-Zero Project in partnership with VREF Volvo Research and Educational Foundations, MobiliseYourCity, and TUMI. #ElectrifyParatransit #Minibuses #ExploringPopularTransport #ElectricMinibuses

A hydrogen-powered train built by Swiss company Stadler has set a new Guinness World Record (GWR) after it traveled nonstop for 1,741 miles (2,803 km). The feat was achieved using a pilot hydrogen-powered passenger train car at a dedicated test ring in Colorado in the US. When looking for sustainable transportation solutions, an electric vehicle (EV) comes to mind. While this technological development is great for reducing tail-pipe emissions, there is a need for sustainable mass transit options as well. More recently, automotive companies have also demonstrated the ability of electric buses. Still, trains can carry much larger batches of people at a time. #guinessworldrecords #guinessbookofworldrecords #HydrogenPowered #train #railways #switzerland #stadler #stadlerrail #businessdor
