As part of the FUTURA project, Kovis is actively presented at international trade fairs. At the beginning of this year, we presented Kovis as exhibitors at the Expo Rail 2017 fair in Mexico. This exhibition offered an excellent opportunity to present the progress in the optimization of brake discs for the rail freight transport.
At the international fair Czech Raildays in Ostrava in the Czech Republic, which is the nineteenth already, Kovis presented the results of the FUTURA project regarding the following situation: 20.7% lower weight, 11% shorter braking distance and consequently increased safety, 10% less vibration, 10% higher efficiency, 5% longer lifecycle, 55% reduction in maintenance costs, 4dBA lower noise in laboratory tests and 10dBA lower test noise in the real environment compared to K-brakes.
As a visitor, Kovis representatives also participated in two international trade fairs this year, the Middle East Rail – International Conference and Trade Exhibition in Dubai and Transport logistics in Munich.
Activities in the field of exhibiting and visiting fairs, where the main thread is the railway industry, will be continued intensively in the second half of this year. In September we are going to visit the Trako Fair in Poland, in October the Fair Elmia Nordic Rail in Sweden and in November the Rail + Metro China Fair in China. Two other important international fairs are also waiting for us: the APTA trade fair in America in October and AusRail in Australia at the end of November. There we are going to present ourselves as exhibitors.
