Rail technical strategy delivery team FutureRailway has launched a competition to design a new pantograph, as part of the electrification programme.

The company is looking for a pantographic dynamic behaviour measurement device for use in rolling stock maintenance depots.
The new design will be tested for dynamic performance to achieve system performance, operate at higher speeds and in multiple.
Participants invited to develop proposals for this competition include innovators, engineers and designers across sectors such as transport, civil engineering, electrical engineering, and design.
