Product Expertise: Fire and Smoke Detection for Rail

Characteristics

For two decades, Diehl Aviation has been developing integrative fire protection solutions for rail transport that ensure both fast and automatic fire detection and safe firefighting. The synergies from aviation are great: for example, a current standard that prescribes high robustness against false alarms on board aircraft can also be used in railroads. In addition to state-of-the-art fire detection and extinguishing technology, the product portfolio also includes complete system integration in rail vehicles. The development of sensors and software is also carried out 100 percent in-house. In addition, Diehl Aviation‘s rail experts work together with TÜV to ensure all necessary safety approvals for the systems. In the rail sector, customers from Diehl Aviation includes the leading manufacturers of rail vehicles, such as Alstom, Bombardier Siemens and Talgo, as well as global rail transport companies
