By increasing track availability and enabling higher traffic volumes without expanding land use, Vossloh helps reduce the demand for land and natural resources in rail infrastructure, thereby contributing to the preservation of biodiversity. Transporting more people and goods by rail, an environmentally friendly mode of transport, is an important building block in achieving the EU's Paris Agreement goal of climate neutrality by 2050.
To increase the availability of the rail network, Vossloh develops and manufactures increasingly durable and low-maintenance products while also ensuring more efficient and cost-optimized maintenance of the rail network.
Quieter rail traffic has been a concern of Vossloh for many years, in the interests of people who live or work near railway lines. Reducing noise in rail traffic and improving rail acoustics are key areas of the company's research and development work. Vossloh optimizes wheel-rail contact on the track and track components in order to combat noise particularly effectively at its source. The company offers products and services in all its business units that can significantly reduce rail noise in the long term.
The personal safety of consumers and/or end users is a key issue for Vossloh. The company is committed to making the greatest possible contribution to safe rail transport. It bears a great responsibility for the quality of its products and services, as rail infrastructure is highly safety-relevant. The company addresses risks to rail users with a strong focus on quality and safety at all locations. All of the company's major production sites have a quality management system in place that is certified in accordance with ISO 9001 or a comparable national standard such as the US AAR M1003, which is subject to regular audits.
