The majority of inter-city transportation of passengers is via trains. As a result, rail transport is responsible for a significant portion of both fuel and electricity consumption as well as CO2 emissions.
Standard UK passenger trains achieve speeds of 125 miles per hour as a result of their streamlined body. The trains need to be as aerodynamic as possible.
With Advanced TRS® we can achieve up to a 22.34% reduction in aerodynamic drag. Consequently, these trains can achieve faster speeds, further reducing travel time of this transport while saving energy and lowering emissions.
This significant reduction in drag coefficient could achieve an incredible fuel saving of over 10%. This results in a huge saving in cost as well as less fuel-related CO2 emissions, heavily reducing the environmental impact of our rail networks.
Implementing our Advanced TRS® system can make train services run more efficiently and at a lower cost too.
This reduction in cost could mean more affordable travel for passengers. This is particularly important in a market where customers are feeling the financial impact of year-on-year ticket price increases.
