Wheelsets: Less Cost, Less Risk - The Challenge

Join international and cross-industry speakers to explore the relationship between safety, performance and cost on the most expensive consumables on the rail vehicle.

Axles, bearings and wheelsets are some of the most expensive 'consumables' on a vehicle and are key components in causing damage and cost to infrastructure. These components are also vitally important drivers for vehicle availability and customer service.

This seminar will explore the relationship between safety, performance and cost, focusing on new and emerging research and how the industry will benefit. With both international and cross-industry speakers, hear how these theories can be put into practice and improve your rail network operation.
