Fast charged electric and hybrid buses require a charging station to transfer large amounts of power from the electric grid to the bus. For this purpose Opbrid Bůsbaar has chosen  a well proven Furrer+Frey moveable conductor rail system.

A video of the system will be shown at the congress of the Swiss Union of Public Transport in Fribourg.

Congratulations to Bendicht Abrecht for this unique accomplishment!

We thank you for your indefatigable commitment!

Beat and Rico Furrer and the F+F staff.

Just in time haulage is a prerequisite for an efficient construction process. Swiss Rail Traffic has the means and the required know-how.

The fact that historic motor vehicles are being used does not only ensure the attractivity for railway enthusiasts but is also a guarantee for the careful handling of the precious goods.

Whenever possible, F+F is using rail transport - for freight and plant as well as passengers.

With transport of freight and plant, the emission of 16 tons of CO2 could be avoided in 2011, and about as much with the use of travelcards by F+F staff.

While working at Arth-Goldau on the new train station and shed, our fitters were called to repair the overhead lines damaged by a storm.

A Genie basket could be used thanks to the special flat cars Kklmm 68 et 69.

At the entrance to the train shed of asm (Aare-Seeland-Mobil) motor driven Lower Pantograph Signs have been installed. They are needed because three tracks are in the same electrical section and the common earthing rod was not sufficiently visible to the engine drivers.
