Low-emission trams and streetcars are essential to modern urban transit. VAHLE Inc. delivers safe, compact and scalable electrification systems — built to support automation, route flexibility and passenger comfort.
Low-emission trams and streetcars are essential to modern urban transit. VAHLE Inc. delivers safe, compact and scalable electrification systems — built to support automation, route flexibility and passenger comfort.
As cities shift toward emission-free transportation, trams and streetcars are making a comeback — offering clean, efficient movement through dense urban corridors, airports, campuses and industrial zones. Unlike traditional overhead power lines, modern systems require compact, safe and low-maintenance electrification solutions that can be integrated into public environments.
VAHLE Inc. supports tram and streetcar manufacturers, integrators and transit authorities with advanced power and control systems. Our solutions include conductor bar and inductive contactless energy systems that can be embedded in-ground at stops or along the route at specific points — enabling seamless operation without disruptive overhead infrastructure.
From automatic docking and charging to real-time control and diagnostics, VAHLE systems are engineered for continuous duty and safe public operation. Our technologies are already powering modern tram systems in cities like Luxembourg and Zaragoza, helping to shape the future of emission-free urban mobility.
Your Vision. Our Solution.
Open conductor bar systems consist of a T-shaped steel base covered with a copper profile. The high mechanical strength ensures safe and reliable contact with the current collector. Able to withstand the toughest conditions, these systems are particularly durable and economical.
VAHLE is a pioneer in industrial charging contacts and offers the world's largest standard range. The solutions are extremely resistant to sealing and durable, and are of course also available fully customized.
The lightweight types U15, U25 and U35 are particularly easy to maintain thanks to their open design. Thanks to different conductor materials, they are also particularly flexible to install.
Thanks to their high wear resistance and resistance to acids, the U20 and U30 conductor rails are reliable energy suppliers even in harsh environments and with complex and curved track layouts.
