European Year of Rail: focus on hoses and fittings for the world of trains

2021: European year of rail. The European Parliament has turned the spotlight on one of the safest,
most sustainable and innovative means of transport. A vehicle capable of significantly reducing CO2 emissions and which plays a primary role in mobility.

There are many activities planned across the continent to encourage the use of trains and reach the goal of climate neutrality by 2050. IVG Colbachini will be alongside our partners: builders, maintainers and railway bodies to support them with our product range.

IVG products guarantee maximum safety for operators and passengers on board. In accordance with the European standard EN 45545-2, the hose structures are designed to meet the highest risk levels (HL2, HL3) ensuring low toxicity and smoke emission in case of fire.
