As the world leader in rack-and-pinion railway technology, our vehicles can even cope with extreme gradients. We manufacture customised rack railroads that meet your exact requirements.
Customised rack-and-pinion railroads are an outstanding unique solution of Stadler. In 1998, Stadler acquired the rack-and-pinion railway sector of the former Schweizerische Lokomotiv- und Maschinenfabrik (SLM) and has continued this unique technological expertise ever since. This exclusive niche in the global rolling stock market reflects our relentless passion for rail vehicles. Our expertise goes far beyond pure technology and mastering lightweight construction. We do our utmost to develop personalised solutions so that operators worldwide can benefit from the perfect solutions, with panoramic windows that bring the beautiful scenery to life during the journey.
