Case Study: Hitachi Rail Europe achieves enhanced onboard security and reliability on Class 800/801 trains with dormakaba bespoke high-security locking solution

Bespoke solution for Hitachi Class 800/801 trains

Hitachi Rail Europe needed a robust, bespoke locking system for its new Class 800/801 electric and bi‑mode trains delivered under the Intercity Express Programme. dormakaba was chosen to meet this challenge, supplying a high‑security locking solution — including camlocks, cylinder locks and electrical key switches — specified to withstand demanding rail operating conditions.

dormakaba fitted its bespoke high‑security locks throughout the Class 800/801 fleet, building on a proven partnership from the Class 395 programme. dormakaba’s products deliver secure key systems and reliable operation in extreme conditions, supporting Hitachi Rail Europe’s objectives for higher capacity, improved reliability and passenger safety across the fleet.
