Railways
Coaches, locomotives, metro cars and the lines they run on. Cables for traction and auxiliary power, lighting, doors, HVAC, signalling and passenger information.
Markets
Cables that keep rail and road moving.
Wires and cables built to carry power, signal and data against vibration, mechanical stress and extreme temperatures.
Overview
Transportation asks a lot of a cable. Inside a loco, a coach or a bus it has to carry power, control signals and data against constant vibration and mechanical stress, in tight spaces where every kilogram counts and fire safety is not negotiable.
Elegar Kerpen builds wires and cables for railway and automotive applications at our Chakan plant in Pune. Insulation crosslinked on our own E-beam line gives lighter, more compact constructions that hold their properties for longer, and every construction can be adapted to your specification.
Where they run
One supplier covering rail and road, so a project can source its power, control and data cables from one supplier.
Coaches, locomotives, metro cars and the lines they run on. Cables for traction and auxiliary power, lighting, doors, HVAC, signalling and passenger information.
Buses, commercial and special-purpose vehicles. Wiring that stays reliable around engine heat, oil and fuel, and vibration that never lets up.
Cable range
The ranges we build for rail and road projects. Each can be built to your conductor size, core count and sheath.
Single core, screened and unscreened multi core, signal and control, and data bus and video cables for locomotives, coaches and metro cars.
ExploreWhat they face
Transport applications load a cable in ways a fixed installation never does. Our constructions are designed around six of them.
On rails and roads, cables never stop moving. Constructions are designed to take repeated flexing and mechanical stress without cracking.
From desert heat to winter cold and monsoon damp, TRANS-KONNECT® single core is rated up to 120°C and keeps its resistance at low temperatures.
Halogen free, low smoke and infusible insulation helps protect passengers and crews in trains and vehicles if a fire breaks out.
Sheaths resist the oil, fuel and chemicals found in depots, engine bays and workshops.
E-beam crosslinked insulation allows compact constructions, saving space and weight on every train and vehicle.
Screened constructions keep control and data signals clear of interference from traction, propulsion and power systems.
Standards and approvals
Rolling stock and road vehicle cables are built to the standards a project names, or to your own specification.
