AXLES

CAF offers different types of axles for all types of railway stock; ranging from locomotives and high-speed, variable-gauge trains, up to regional, commuter, and metro trains, trams, and freight wagons.

This is a product which requires great responsibility and variability in the design and manufacturing process according to the different trends followed in different countries.

Owing to the supply of axles, over the years in accordance with the different international standard requirements, CAF has a privileged position on the market for the manufacture of axles with increased manufacturing complexity.

Our range of axle bodies includes:

  • Hollow axles
