--- title: Railway industry url: "https://www.gmh-prueftechnik.de/en/industries/railway-industry/" date: 2026-05-07 modified: 2026-07-27 --- # Railway industry Railway industry ================ An industry with continuously growing requirements -------------------------------------------------- The railroad industry is focused on sustainable mobility, digitalization, and ongoing infrastructure reforms. The railroad and rail vehicle industry plays a key role in transportation and global logistics. It includes the manufacturing of rail vehicles, rail infrastructure and related components. New high-speed rail lines, electrified networks and intelligent train control systems are examples of innovations within the industry. Testing systems and methods for maximum safety ------------------------------------------------ Increasing demands on rail vehicles in terms of safety, speed, availability, noise reduction and comfort are leading to significantly higher requirements for vehicle components. At the same time, the number of standards and regulations that manufacturers and operators of wheel/rail systems must comply with continues to grow, resulting in increasingly demanding requirements for testing methods and systems. As a specialist in the design, development and manufacturing of testing systems for wheel/rail systems, we are able to provide our customers with the right inspection solution for virtually every application. In doing so, we make a significant contribution to safety in rail transport. In addition to our stationary testing systems, the mobile testing systems from GMH Prüftechnik allow you to carry out inspections virtually anywhere. They are used wherever it is more practical, economical – or simply necessary – to bring the testing system to the test object rather than the other way around. This opens up entirely new application possibilities, particularly for wheel/rail systems, while also saving time and costs.
