996479591 T1404 Investigating and proposing improvements for rolling stock heat insulation provision

Description

RSSB is commissioning research to review current heat-insulation practices in GB passenger rolling stock, benchmark them internationally, and identify practical opportunities for improvement across both new-build and retrofit vehicles. The project will assess suitable insulation materials and technologies (including thermal performance, fire safety, durability, and end-of-life considerations), evaluate how vehicle design and operation influence heat loss, and quantify the benefits of potential improvements in terms of energy use, carbon reduction, operating costs, and passenger comfort. The outcome will be clear, evidence-based recommendations to support industry decision-makers in adopting cost-effective, technically robust, and sustainable insulation solutions.
