Wabtec’s Metroflexx Receives TÜV SÜD Certification Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-Chief
Wabtec’s Metroflexx brake system communicates with vehicle onboard computers and traction equipment “to optimize use of electrodynamic braking, and was designed with sustainability in mind, as 95% of the system’s parts can be recycled at end of life.”
TÜV SÜD, an independent testing and certification authority, has certified Wabtec Corp’s new Metroflexx brake, which the company calls “next-generation braking systems for the mass transit rail industry.” The certification “validates that the system meets the safety, quality and performance standards set at an organizational, local or international level.”
