OUR SEGMENTS - TRANSPORTATION
We supply hoses and active hydraulic components to several of the world's major manufacturers and body builders of trucks, as well as to the railway and aviation industries.
TRANSPORTATION
The transport sector is a critical part of the economy, encompassing all forms of transportation of people and goods. It includes road transport, railways, maritime shipping, and aviation. Each sector plays a crucial role in facilitating trade, tourism, and daily commuting.
Road transport often dominates at the national level and includes cars, buses, and trucks. They are flexible and can reach almost any destination, but they also contribute to traffic congestion and environmental pollution.
Railways are efficient for transporting large volumes of cargo and passengers over long distances. They are energy-efficient and have lower CO2 emissions per ton-kilometer compared to road transport, but they require significant investments in infrastructure.
Maritime shipping is the most cost-effective way to transport large volumes of goods internationally. Container ships and tankers can transport everything from consumer goods to raw materials, but the sector faces challenges related to maritime safety and emissions.
Aviation offers fast transport over long distances, crucial for global trade and tourism. However, the aviation sector is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, and the industry actively works on developing more sustainable solutions.
