Reducing noise directly on rolling stock is the most effective way of protecting the public from rail noise. Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria and Germany have noise bonus programmes to encourage companies to retrofit rolling stock with composite brake blocks.
Enjoy the financial advantages of the noise bonus programmes in these countries and apply for your individual bonus! You can find out more about this on the SEP website and on the new brochure, which is available in German and English directly from the FOT or as a download here.
