Hitachi Rail: High-Speed Rail Signaling Equipment Cases
Challenge
Hitachi Rail operates high-speed rail systems in 50+ countries including Shinkansen, TGV, and Amtrak Acela. They need cases for signaling equipment, control electronics, and track sensors transported to rail construction and maintenance sites. Cases must: (1) meet EN 50121-4 + IEC 62278 rail EMC, (2) survive outdoor rail trackside conditions, (3) protect $80,000+ signaling systems, (4) integrate with Hitachi supply chain, (5) be reusable 500+ cycles.
Solution
KeXinMaterials provided rail-grade cases with: (1) EN 50121-4 + IEC 62278 EMC + IP65 compliance, (2) PP copolymer with 316L hardware for trackside use, (3) custom foam for ETCS signaling, ATP/ATO controllers, axle counters, (4) serialized QR + Hitachi supply chain, (5) 500+ cycle rating. Custom foam for Hitachi ETCS Level 2/3, ATO, Siemens Trainguard MT.
Result
1,400 cases deployed across 50+ countries. 18 months zero signaling damage. 100% EN 50121 compliance. Hitachi standardized KeXinMaterials as a qualified rail case vendor.
Client Testimonial
Hitachi Rail operates high-speed rail in 50+ countries with strict EN 50121 EMC requirements. KeXinMaterials cases have proven rail-grade compliance across our ETCS deployment fleet.
