Sustainable mobility for a better world
The requirements for rolling stock are increasing and will continue to do so.
The task is to implement ever faster connections, while also increasing
traveler comfort. During their everyday work, the trains are exposed to very
high environmental, electrical and mechanical loads. This means a constant
stream of new, increased and standardized safety standards for rolling
stock.
In order to function reliably and safely, trains require special This is a key concern, particularly when escape routes are

ABB manages and always focuses on optimizing all processes as required by IRIS certification.
(International Railway Industry Standard certification created by the European Union of railways
industry). Dedicated ABB manufacturing companies are IRIS certified.
