Glossary
- Rolling stock
- Locomotives, freight wagons, coaches and other rail vehicles used by operators. At NT Expo, this category covers fleet renewal, leasing, components and heavy-haul freight equipment.
- Permanent way
- The track structure itself: rails, sleepers, ballast, fastenings and switches. Track construction and renewal suppliers exhibit here alongside maintenance-of-way machinery.
- Signalling and train control
- Systems that manage train separation, speed supervision, route setting and safety interlocking. These exhibits matter to freight operators and metro/light-rail projects upgrading line capacity.
- Rail freight operator
- Concessionaires and logistics companies that move cargo by rail. They are core buyers at NT Expo for wagons, locomotives, telemetry, track access and terminal equipment.
- Intermodal terminal
- A transfer point where rail meets road, usually for containers, grain or industrial cargo. Terminal handling and port-rail connection suppliers sit in this part of the supply chain.
- Maintenance-of-way (MoW)
- Inspection, tamping, welding, rail grinding and track renewal work that keeps lines safe and available. MoW equipment and service providers are a distinct exhibit category at the show.
- Rail telecommunications
- Operational radio, data links and control-centre communications used by rail operators. These systems are increasingly packaged with signalling and safety contracts.
- Urban rail and metro
- Passenger rail systems such as metro, light rail and suburban trains. They share suppliers with freight rail but follow separate public procurement cycles and standards.
