Gerflor Transport

France · Railway vehicle flooring systems

Treat the floor as a complete rolling-stock interior system: surface, backing, bonding, welded seams, substrate condition, fire performance and lifecycle replacement all have to work together.

PRINCIPAL POSITIONING

A specialist railway-flooring route with established Indonesian supply history.

Gerflor Transport supplies dedicated railway flooring systems for new-build and refurbishment programs.

CBP supports the Traveller rail portfolio, matching accessories, installation requirements and replacement supply for Indonesian rolling-stock applications. Exact product, colour, backing, adhesive and certification must be confirmed for each vehicle project.

IN 30 SECONDS

The floor is a vehicle system, not loose vinyl.

A railway floor has to manage passenger wear, cleaning chemistry, subfloor movement, welded seams, moisture, weight and vehicle-specific fire/smoke requirements. Gerflor Traveller is engineered around those constraints, but performance still depends on the complete floor assembly and installation process.

The problem

A floor failure is not cosmetic when seams open, bonding fails or the assembly no longer meets the vehicle requirement.

The rail-specific answer

Match fire/smoke evidence, weight, slip, backing, adhesive, welding and installation method as one assembly.

The buying decision

Choose the Traveller family only after the vehicle, subfloor, traffic and approval requirement are known.

THE TECHNOLOGY OFFERING

A system, not a catalogue.

Current Gerflor material confirms six Traveller families. Certification and performance claims are product-specific; they are not interchangeable.

Traveller Evolution

Lightweight rail flooring with high dimensional stability, textile backing, welded-seam architecture and project-specific fire/smoke evidence including EN 45545-2 R10 HL2 and NFPA 130 on the current Evolution data sheet.

Best fit
New builds or refurbishments needing contemporary rail-specific performance, design flexibility and efficient installation.

Traveller Discovery

Decorative rail flooring with rail-specific fire/slip evidence, Protecsol surface treatment, textile backing and hot-weld installation options.

Best fit
Passenger areas where visual finish and rail-duty performance must coexist.

Traveller Classic HL

Traveller Classic construction for high-duty rail interiors, with wear, slip, dimensional-stability and installation characteristics controlled by its current technical sheet.

Best fit
High-traffic rail interiors where the approved Classic HL construction fits the vehicle.

Traveller Classic ST

A long-running Traveller Classic route used in Indonesian supply history and replacement stock workflows.

Best fit
Fleet replacement, repair and continuity where the installed design and colour must be matched.

Traveller Classic AP

A Traveller Classic variant in the current rail range; Everest is one current AP colour documented in CBP’s INKA supply record.

Best fit
Project-specific passenger interiors where AP colour/construction is approved.

Traveller Classic LN

A current Traveller Classic family for rail interiors; confirm the exact project performance sheet before specification.

Best fit
Vehicle programs whose approved interior design calls for the LN construction.

Welding rods & seam system

Matched hot-welding consumables and installation process for flat, coved and vertical areas; seam treatment is part of water-tightness and lifecycle performance.

Best fit
New installation, repair and controlled replacement.

Cut-to-size / self-adhesive / shipsets

Factory preparation and installation options intended to reduce on-vehicle cutting and installation time where the selected Traveller product supports them.

Best fit
Production programs and repeat refurbishment with stable drawings.

Coving, edge, accessibility & finishing elements

Project-specific edge, cove, step, tactile/accessibility and wayfinding solutions where supported by the approved system.

Best fit
Doors, wheelchair areas, transitions, steps and perimeter detailing.

PRODUCT ARCHITECTURE

How the portfolio fits together.

Specify the assembly

Vehicle requirement + subfloor + fire/smoke basis.

Choose the surface

Traveller family + colour + traffic/slip needs.

Engineer the installation

Adhesive + self-adhesive option + weld + coving/edges.

Protect continuity

Batch/colour control + repair stock + welding rods.

SELECTION LOGIC

Which Traveller floor should you investigate first?

This is a qualification path, not a substitution table. Final selection must follow the current product sheet and the vehicle approval basis.

STEP 1

What fire/smoke requirement applies?

Start with the exact rolling-stock requirement and vehicle category. Evolution has current EN 45545-2 R10 HL2 and NFPA 130 evidence; do not transfer that claim to another Traveller family without its own evidence.

STEP 2

Is the priority design flexibility or installed-fleet continuity?

For new design programs, compare Evolution and Discovery first. For replacement, identify the installed Traveller family, colour, batch history and welding system before changing anything.

STEP 3

How will it be installed?

Confirm subfloor material and condition, adhesive compatibility, self-adhesive availability, cut-to-size strategy, weld type, coving and edge treatment.

STEP 4

Where will passengers use it?

High-traffic zones, door areas, wheelchair spaces and transitions may require different detailing even when the base floor family stays the same.

STEP 5

What must remain serviceable later?

Define replacement stock, colour consistency, welding rods, repair method and minimum retained material before the fleet enters service.

WHY GERFLOR TRANSPORT

Material choice matters, but installation and lifecycle control decide whether the floor performs.

WHAT A GENERIC DESCRIPTION SAYS

“Vinyl floor covering.”

That description ignores the vehicle assembly, certification basis, welded seams, mass, adhesion, cleaning regime and replacement architecture.

WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGES

Railway flooring is a system boundary.

Gerflor Traveller combines rail-specific floor coverings with compatible welding, bonding, cut-to-size, self-adhesive and installation-support options. The value is not decorative finish alone; it is a controlled interior-flooring system that can be specified, installed, repaired and replaced consistently over the vehicle lifecycle.

VERIFIED INDONESIAN EXPERIENCE

Evidence, with the stage left intact.

INDONESIA · RECURRING SUPPLY

INKA / IMST · 612-car replacement supply

2025–2026 Indonesian rolling-stock programs
CBP records establish recurring Gerflor Traveller supply through PT INKA / PT Inka Multi Solusi environments, including Traveller Classic-family flooring and matching welding rods.

Evidence boundary
The records support repeated procurement and shipment execution. Final installed area, exact vehicle allocation and customer acceptance must remain tied to the specific project record.

Why this matters
Repeated procurement demonstrates continuity of Gerflor rail-flooring supply in Indonesian rolling-stock manufacturing and replacement programs. It also creates a practical lifecycle route for matching material, welding rod, repair stock and future replacement demand.

INDONESIA · 2026 EXECUTION

PT INKA / IMST Gerflor supply activity

2026 evidence
CBP records establish a PT INKA order dated 15 January 2026 with planned multi-batch delivery and subsequent shipping/pre-alert activity. Separate IMST records cover ongoing replacement demand for the 612-car program.

Boundary
Order and shipment execution are established; final vehicle installation and acceptance are not claimed unless the project record confirms them.

Customer value
CBP can coordinate product availability, batch logistics and time-critical delivery. Acceptance and in-service performance remain separate evidence states.

CBP VALUE

From vehicle interior requirement to a controlled flooring package.

Define vehicle area, passenger duty, cleaning regime, fire requirement, colour and design intent.
Confirm the exact Traveller product, thickness, backing, batch, welding rod and current technical documentation.
Coordinate subfloor condition, adhesive or self-adhesive route, seams, coving, step details and repair method.
Support samples, approval material, production supply, installation guidance and lifecycle replacement stock.

Control ordering, shipment staging and urgent air/sea logistics when required.
Maintain project-specific replacement-stock and welding-rod continuity.
Support technical questions during installation and replacement planning.
Keep project references focused on the supplied system, program stage and customer application.

ENGINEERING LAYER

What matters once the shortlist is right.

Why the backing matters

Rail vehicles often use non-porous composite, GFRP, aluminium or steel subfloors. Current Traveller documentation uses textile backing to improve bonding and reduce bubbling risk; subfloor preparation still controls the result.

Why seams matter

Traveller installation guidance treats hot welding as part of the water-tight system. Welding rod, groove preparation, temperature, adhesive cure and corner treatment affect the finished assembly.

Why fire/smoke claims must stay product-specific

Evolution's current data sheet states EN 45545-2 R10 HL2 and NFPA 130. Traveller Classic and other variants have their own evidence. The project must use the certificate that actually belongs to the proposed product and assembly.

Why replacement stock matters

A rail floor may stay in service for years. Colour, batch, remaining roll length, welding rods and storage condition become maintenance data, not warehouse trivia.
