| The train industry imposes significant technical specifications on products such as personal safety and fire resistance. This requires very high engineering skills and documentation efforts from sub-suppliers. 15 years of operation in the train industry market have enabled Jupiter to comply with these high standards. Jupiter is today a substantial provider of interior and exterior parts, floors and toilet cabins for the train industry. On project basis, Jupiter has manufactured a wide variety of composite interior train parts such as seats, panels, window frames and doors, of which the majority have been manufactured in glass fibre. Besides meeting the generally high security requirements in the train industry, physical appearance also plays an important role for these components. Driven by the need for reducing fuel consumption via lower weight, metal parts in trains are to a large extent being replaced by composite components. |
Furthermore, besides exhibiting a reduced weight, composite parts present better characteristics in terms of collision, are easier to repair and have lower life cycle costs. Jupiter’s train components have to comply with requirements as regards:
