The benefits of our ultralight hybrid rubber element shock absorber wheels are impressive. Have a look at some numbers based on a 6-axle tram car: 600 kg less weight per vehicle; 100 kg lower axle load; reduced stress on the track and vehicle; 195,000 kWh of energy savings over the vehicle\u2019s life span with a total mileage of 3 million km; 98,000 kg less CO2 equivalent emissions. This means increasing the transport capacity by eight people or 600 kg of weight reserved for additional technical equipment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/6″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” offset=”vc_col-lg-2 vc_col-md-3 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][fancy_box box_style=”color_box_basic” icon_family=”none” box_color=”#3c6a81″ box_color_opacity=”1″ box_alignment=”left” min_height=”50″]\n

Hybrid wheels do not differ in durability from conventional wheels, however their suitability has been proven over a long series of tests. Of course \u2013 due to the different material conditions \u2013 specific structural adjustments were made.<\/p>\n
In the hybrid version, Bo 54 has the lowest possible number of components: Wheel rim, wheel tyre, rubber spring mounting. Wheel rim rings and additional retaining screws are also not required here.<\/p>\n
The unmistakable core of the design is the rubber elements, which are individually designed according to the wheel\u2019s application. The highly pre-stressed shock absorber, which is therefore safe from turning between the tyre and the rim, reduces noise in accordance with customer specifications and is particularly suitable for limited spaces.<\/p>\n
