8MF cubicles in practical applications
Project-specific 8MF cubicles were developed and mechanically prepared to meet the requirements of the Siemens Transportation Systems division, one of the leading partners of international railway operators.
The 8MF cubicle offers convincing security, stability and quality, satisfying all the enhanced demands for railway applications. It has thus been the cubicle of choice for the projects DESIRO Slovenia, CP2000 Portugal, DESIRO South-West Train Great Britain and AVE Spain.
Project CP2000
For the CP2000 project, the 8MF frame profile was welded in accordance with the SGK 2.2 standard (see illustration below). The mechanical interior installation comprises:
- 19-inch expansion
- Device holders
- Cable ducts
- Flexible cable conduits
- Standard mounting rails
- Air-conditioning with heat exchangers

Project AVE
The high-speed trains from Siemens set new standards in high-speed rail travel. For this project, a specific, mechanically prepared cubicle was developed on the basis of our 8MF cubicles.
Features to be emphasized are the unconventional cubicle form and the sophisticated surface treatment of the individual components.
Here, too, our design department was able to contribute valuable know-how to promote an optimum product development.
