SINTERED BRAKE PADS
Alstom Flertex has been a long-standing supplier to the TGV for over 20 years, and has acquired major expertise in high-energy rail friction. This expertise has gradually been extended to other lower-speed rail applications, such as locomotives, regional trains and trams.
Sintered materials offer a good compromise between efficiency and safety on all types of rail vehicles, even at low speeds, when, for example, the number of brake stations is limited for reasons of weight savings or economy.

SINTERED BRAKE SHOES
For several decades now, Alstom Flertex has been equipping locomotives with brake blocks for high-speed, high-weight applications, or in difficult climatic conditions.
Our brake blocks are also used on freight applications, with high-friction solutions. They offer a noise level comparable to that of organic brake pads, with an undeniable advantage in terms of service life.
