Hybrid PistenBully provides perfect skiing conditions

Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug AG has been manufacturing piste-grooming vehicles for ski resorts since 1969. Over this period, the global market leader in this sector has sold around 19,000 piste-grooming vehicles in 68 countries.

Bell Mobility: More bandwidth for Canada

Bell Mobility is the leading provider of wireless networks in Canada and reaches approximately 95% of the population. To be able to satisfy the enormous increase in demand for mobile bandwidth in the future, Bell started converting its network to Long Term Evolution (LTE) some time ago. The new standard will achieve speeds of up to 150 Mbps - many times faster than today’s networks. HUBER+SUHNER solutions make it possible.

The facility is constantly optimized to ensure that it remains at the cutting edge - for example, by maximizing lot sizes.

Swiss Federal Railway

The Swiss Federal Railway (SBB) has ordered 59 double-decker trains for intercity transport from train manufacturer Bombardier. These InterCitys and InterRegios, which are due to enter operation as of 2015, will both cover increased demand and replace older railway vehicles. In what is the second-largest rolling stock project on the European rail market, HUBER+SUHNER is cabling all the trains, including design and engineering, and will be using the new, specially-developed RADOX rail cables.

Ahead of its time: high-voltage electrical system for E-Vito

Even before the introduction of uniform standards for electric vehicles, HUBER+SUHNER developed the high-voltage electrical system for the Mercedes E-Vito. With a direct connection and shielded cables, the high-voltage distributor meets all the key market requirements, such as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), leak tightness and minimal contact resistances.

Phelophepa: South Africa’s hospital on rails

If the patient can’t travel to a distant hospital, the hospital must come to the patient - on rails. Since the spring of 2012, the medical train Phelophepa II has been travelling across South Africa providing care to people in rural areas. The train is excellently equipped with medical equipment and a communications network of fiber optic connections by HUBER+SUHNER.
