Lightweighting is becoming an increasingly important issue for rail vehicles because their weight has generally risen over the last 30 years. Rail vehicle components and assemblies that would be good candidates for lightweighting using composites are identified in this paper. The potential for composite materials is examined by highlighting some of the technical, regulatory, economic and cultural aspects that normally influence the design process.
