Mechanical design together with the development of supporting documentation and strength analyses of two tram bodies.

Project description

Mechanical design together with the development of supporting documentation and strength analyses of two tram bodies.

Solution

In 2014, on behalf of PESA Bydgoszcz SA, a comprehensive 2D and 3D mechanical design was carried out and documentation was developed with detailed strength analyses undertaken for: statics (EN12663), weld fatigue (DVS 1612) and crashworthiness (EN 15227) of the Jazz Duo tram. The collaboration continued in 2015. The project realised at that time included the preparation of detailed 2D mechanical documentation and a comprehensive strength analysis in terms of statics (EN 12663) and weld fatigue (DVS 1612) of the Krakowiak model.

The result

The modern, functional and durable trams created according to the project are widely acclaimed and successfully operated. Jazz Duo is the most popular tram series in our country. It is used in Warsaw and Gdansk, Krakowiak, and is the largest tram running in Krakow. Despite its large capacity, it is capable of running along the familiar narrow-gauge route through the Old Town.

Hydrogen bus – an innovative part of the urban fabric 

The idea of sustainability and a focus on ecology determine the direction in which modern public transport is heading. The hydrogen bus is an innovative means of transport that fits perfectly into the standards that modern public transport should meet. On the streets of Polish and foreign cities, it is increasingly common to see these low-emission vehicles, which not only quickly become a functional element of public transport, but also provide a range of benefits in other areas, including contributing to improved air quality in the locality. Along with their electric counterparts, hydrogen buses are expected to become an integral part of the urban landscape within the next few years. What makes such high hopes for them?

What modern car safety systems are worth looking out for?

Over the years, the industrial design of cars has involved the addition of safety systems designed to provide an even higher level of protection for users and other road users. Some of these solutions, in line with regulations adopted by the European Commission, are becoming required equipment for new cars in order for them to receive the appropriate type-approval for sale in the European Union. Which modern car safety systems are worth paying particular attention to?
