Keeping Merseyside movingMerseyrail were experiencing a 20% in-service failure rate for their G310 traction motor. A lack of product development work meant the motors were effectively stuck in a service time warp. Merseyrail needed a solution, in a unique move they entered into partnership with Unipart Rail and Houghton International. We immediately added significant value by making small initial changes to the specification and introducing our HiTrax system.

HiTrax is the only insulation system in the world developed and marketed specifically into the rail traction motor market by a traction repair company. These changes have reduced the Merseyrail in-service failure rate to under 0.02%. Resulting in a very happy customer and extremely happy passengers.
