Wheelsets

Security on the highest level

Security is non-negotiable. That is why all BVV wheelsets are made with the highest quality standards and tested per the strict industry directives. It goes without saying that our products fulfil all standards – worldwide.

Close Collaboration with OEMs and Operators

We develop and manufacture all of our wheelsets and their components in close collaboration with their operators – this is the only way to ensure that a product is specifically tailored to our customer’s needs.

Premium-Partnerships with our Customers

We have always strived for a special relationship with our customers. Our premium-partnerships mean open communication, full-scale workshops and discussions fuelled by our desire to innovate. Our successes with this model speak for themselves and through our valued, long-term customers.

Innovation and Experience

Experience is the key to success in steel manufacturing – there is a certain expertise that a machine just cannot quite replace. That is why traditions and the passing-down of experiences is invaluable for us. But tradition without innovation just leads to torpor. We have managed to strike the right balance between innovation and tradition to give our customers the best of the best – and it shows through our state-of-the-art product portfolio.
