An example of tram train crash protection is work undertaken for the Avanto LRV. Oleo produced a design in cooperation with Siemens for two 3 stage parallel telescopic struts to carry a beam with anti climbing profile and buffing plates. Compatible interfaces were established on the beam to ensure suitable operation on both mainline and inner city track traffic.
