What is Green Buffers?
Today, crash management solutions used in Europe and many countries elsewhere are only designed to meet current standards which are based on a specific collision speed of 36 km/h. Green Buffers can handle up to 36 km/h and beyond – thus the train’s speed does not affect successful crash management and maintenance costs are minimized, meaning that trains stay on the track instead of in workshops.
The overall trend in the data shows that travelling by railway is safe, but there are areas of improvement. UIC figures show that around 350-400 significant train collisions occur each year. These figures exclude collisions between trains related to shunting operations.
Green Buffers offer a lifesaving solution – a new and unique patented crash absorption system that ensures train sets remain on the track during and after an accident.
We cannot prevent train accidents and collisions from happening – but Green Buffers improves the crashworthiness of trains and reduces the damages and consequences of train accidents.
a sustainable innovation
Green Buffers make train travel safer for passengers and more economical for operators. That in itself is an important contribution to society´s efforts to reduce negative human impact on the planet. In addition, Green Buffers is based on new green technology.
All energy absorption parts are made of materials that can be easily recycled and their utilisation reduces the weight of train sets and thus their overall energy consumption.

Easy to implement
Green Buffers delivers improved safety without the need to build new trains or rebuild existing ones. In terms of design, it is a more innovative way of thinking – you only replace a few products whilst achieving great results.
We have made it easy for all parties – train operators as well as train and coupler suppliers – to implement this technology into their existing platforms. In addition, we are ready to take care of the entire supply chain and give you all the support you might need to take the next step towards the new safety standard.
Green Buffers offers a high strength steel product that is traceable, sustainable, lightweight and safe.
