In the context of growing urbanisation and global climate change, urban electric transport is becoming a central element of modern cities. Trams, trolleybuses and subways create green mobility - an alternative mobility system to road-based transport, including buses.
In the late 1990s, the concept of sustainable development began to spread as part of the concept of sustainable mobility. In the modern world, there are many sustainable forms of mobility: walking or cycling (scooter), electric public transport, railways and aviation. Safe, affordable, efficient and resilient to change, this way of moving people and goods significantly enhances the economic and social development of current and future generations, and significantly minimises carbon emissions and negative environmental impact.
The population is becoming more environmentally conscious and actively using rail urban transport, so trams and subways require significant attention in terms of ongoing maintenance and modernisation, including wheelsets.
DDAP-RAX is also an ‘integral part’ of green mobility and produces tram axles and axles for metro wheelsets. The engineering and technology department of DDAP-RAX has its own library of axle drawings, and the extensive experience of its specialists allows us to develop axle drawings in accordance with the customer's specifications. RAX specialises in the production of finished axles or machining of axle blanks according to the customer's own drawings. The production facilities of DDAP-RAX consist of modern equipment and CNC machines that ensure high precision machining of cylindrical surfaces and rolling.
DDAP-RAX actively introduces modern technologies and strictly adheres to international quality standards in the production of axles for wheel sets. Thanks to the introduction of ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection and other methods of axle inspection, high quality and reliability of products are ensured. The availability of international certificates confirms that the products meet the requirements of the European Union.
All this makes DDAP-RAX a reliable partner in the field of green mobility, contributing to the development of environmentally friendly urban transport.
