TAILORED DESIGNS

A fast-changing sector


Recent changes to the railway regulatory framework confirm new rules and responsibility for new works machines placed on the market.

These changes significantly increase the technical and regulatory requirements, resulting in a substantial rise in certain costs.

Novium now designs machines in line with these changes, designed for the current and future environment, agile but also suitable for different rail and road networks and for controlling operating costs.
