Results for tag: "Tilting Train"

Tilting trains are a type of rail transport vehicle that are designed to reduce the effects of centrifugal force on passengers when travelling around curves. This is achieved by allowing the train to tilt into the curve, allowing it to travel at higher speeds than conventional trains. Tilting trains are used in many countries around the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe. Tilting trains offer a number of advantages over conventional trains, including improved safety, increased speed, and reduced wear and tear on the track. They also provide a smoother ride for passengers, as the tilting motion reduces the effects of lateral acceleration. The tilting train market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a range of products. Some of the major players in the market include Bombardier Transportation, Alstom, Siemens Mobility, Hitachi Rail, and Stadler Rail. Show Less Read more
