Sustainable energy storage with flywheel technology
After 20 years in service, the roof panels of the GVB Combino trams were due for replacement. The challenge? To develop new panels that are stronger, require less maintenance, and meet the highest standards of sustainability. With 620 units to replace, a future-proof solution was essential.

Innovative roof panels with smart design
We engineered new roof panels using thicker, fully pigmented material eliminating the need for an additional coating. Smarter components reduce the risk of damage during installation, and the panels are designed to last for another 20 years.
Our approach: from design to success
- Co-development with a specialized manufacturing partner.
- Extensive prototyping to identify the optimal solution.
- A completely new design delivered and successfully tested through a Site Acceptance Test (SAT).
