Our Know-How

Railway
Engineering Interfaces for

Railway Systems

From high-speed trains to urban metro networks and regional rail infrastructure — we engineer interfaces and system solutions for safety-critical railway applications worldwide.

Technologies for

modern railway systems

Modern rail vehicles demand safety, long-term reliability and strict compliance with international standards. The MAFELEC TEAM supports manufacturers and operators worldwide — from initial specification through co-engineering to validated, series-ready solutions.

Our interfaces are integrated into driver desks, door systems, passenger interface systems and safety signalling infrastructures. They are built to perform across the full operational service life of the vehicle.

MAFELEC TEAM technology is operating in high-speed trains, urban metro systems and regional rail networks across Europe, Asia and South America.

Door

Opening, closing and safety signalling for passenger doors

Driver Desk

Control and signalling interfaces for train operators

Passenger Comfort

On-board interface and information systems within the vehicle interior

Safety

Signalling, detection and emergency systems

Lavatory

Robust and hygienic control solutions for reliable onboard lavatory systems.

Detection & Protection

Advanced solutions for monitoring and protecting critical railway systems.

Interior Lighting

Efficient lighting and signalling solutions for better visibility and orientation.

Exterior Lighting

Robust lighting for clear visibility and reliable signaling in all conditions.

Engineering for railway applications

Our solutions are developed and validated to meet the specific demands of railway environments — from initial concept to certified, field-proven product.

Railway equipment is continuously exposed to vibration, shocks, acceleration forces, and track irregularities during operation. MAFELEC TEAM products are engineered and validated to maintain stable performance in these demanding conditions across high-speed trains, metros, trams, and regional rail systems.

  • Designed to withstand continuous mechanical stress during railway operation
  • Tested for vibration and shock resistance according to railway industry requirements
  • Reinforced construction helps prevent premature wear and component fatigue
  • Reliable operation under acceleration, braking, and track-induced loads
  • Suitable for both urban transit and high-speed rolling stock applications
  • Contributes to reduced maintenance needs and extended equipment lifespan

Railway systems operate in a wide range of environmental conditions, from extreme heat and freezing temperatures to humidity, rain, dust, and UV exposure. MAFELEC TEAM solutions are developed and qualified to maintain performance and durability across all climate zones and operational environments.

  • Qualified for extreme temperature ranges and rapid climate variations
  • Resistant to moisture, dust, UV radiation, and outdoor exposure
  • Durable sealing and protective materials ensure long-term reliability
  • Suitable for operation in coastal, desert, alpine, and urban environments
  • Tested to maintain consistent performance under harsh weather conditions
  • Designed for reliable use in both indoor and outdoor railway applications

Modern rolling stock integrates complex electrical and electronic systems that must operate reliably in environments with significant electromagnetic activity. MAFELEC TEAM products are designed and tested to ensure electromagnetic compatibility and compliance with railway standards.

  • Compliant with EN 50155 and relevant EMC standards for railway applications
  • Resistant to electromagnetic interference generated by onboard systems
  • Designed to minimize emissions and avoid disruption of critical equipment
  • Supports safe and stable operation of communication and control systems
  • Validated through comprehensive EMC testing procedures
  • Ensures reliable integration into modern rolling stock architectures

Railway operators require durable equipment capable of performing reliably over decades of continuous service. MAFELEC TEAM products are engineered with robust materials, precision manufacturing, and lifecycle-focused design principles to minimize downtime and maintenance requirements.

  • Engineered for long-term reliability in demanding railway environments
  • High-quality materials support resistance to wear and environmental stress
  • Designed for intensive operational cycles with minimal maintenance needs
  • Reduces downtime and contributes to lower total cost of ownership
  • Stable performance maintained throughout extended service life
  • Suitable for both onboard and trackside railway applications

Our Engineering Competencies

We engineer system solutions — developed together with our customers, from first specification to series production. The requirements of safety-critical railway systems rarely match what is available on the market. That is why we develop solutions that do not exist yet.
