Railway Industry
Economical railway system refers to the cost-efficient administration of buildings, reliable information systems, safe control of signals and data as well as long-term and hardy use of components and systems in rail vehicles.
We are an experienced partner for you for the present and future challenges in these fields.
Since March 2008, Phoenix Contact has been cerified in acc. with the Internationalen Railway Industry Standard (IRIS). IRIS is the highest global standard for quality in products and processes in the rail vehicle industry.

Railway building technology
Quick passenger information systems, intelligent building management and platform screen doors increase profitability considerably.
Signal technology
Control and security engineering (LST) is the base for the smooth operation of trains in highly complex railway systems.
Rail vehicles
All rail vehicles make high demands on the components used as regards shock and vibration resistance as well as their behavior in the case of fire.
