PROJECTS – EXTERIOR PANELS

Ottawa and Toronto, Canada Exterior panels
LRV train
ALSTOM, a French multinational, specializes in the transportation sector, mainly rail (trains, streetcars, and subways).
When trains pass each other on the tracks, pressure is exerted on the panels by air currents. Railroads estimate that two trains pass each other about 150,000 times over 20 years. The product's cycling tests (150,000) must therefore demonstrate a corresponding resistance capacity. The main challenge in designing the panels is to meet the mechanical requirements and the design, both of which were provided by the customer.

Mandate

Khrome had to validate the strength of the panels through product cycling tests (150 000) in order to demonstrate the resistance capacity.

Benefits

Khrome has a wide variety of processes and materials, we can help the client in the choice and the realization of its exterior with the best materials and finishes according to the application.

  • Khrome is characterized by its expertise in molding design.
  • Khrome distinguishes itself by its in-house manufacturing processes of closed composite molds, with Tedlar coating, thermoforming and in-house panel cutting.

Number of cars made for ALSTOM (Ottawa) :
73 vehicles.
Number of cars made for ALSTOM (Toronto) :
46 vehicles.
Resistant panels: the product's cycling tests (150,000) demonstrate a proven resistance capacity. Our results
