Universal Wolf Metal Fabrication | Thriving in Uncertain Times

UK Rolling Stocks Green & Expansive Future

As part of COP26 and climate change commitments, UK rail can look ahead to a strategic focus on the removal of diesel engine powered trains and the introduction of battery technology to new and retrofit trains. Battery and hydrogen power will together play a great role in helping crucial transport infrastructure not only serve our communities, but also look after our environment.

Encouragingly, there has also been a recent expansion in UK onshore rolling stock manufacturing to meet current and future needs, adding good social value to the UK through increased ‘Made in Britain’ products throughout all levels of the supply chain.

Rail Accreditations Positions Universal Wolf Ready to Play Our Part

Companies like Universal Wolf, as part of our long-term commitment to the UK rail sector, hold key qualifications such as EN15085-2 for rail welding. This means we can manufacture safety and quality-critical components to rolling stock OEM’s and their whole supply chain.
