Oleo can provide crash protection for any rail vehicle including streetcar train protection. Crash protection is produced to the customers design or Oleo can assist with the design and planning. An example of streetcar train crash protection is work undertaken for the Avanto LRV. Oleo produced a design in cooperation with Siemens for two 3 stage parallel telescopic struts to carry a beam with anti climbing profile and buffing plates. Compatible interfaces were established on the beam to ensure suitable operation on both mainline and inner city track traffic.
