Ankara Metro — Bombardier chevron springs
Chevron springs (chevron mounts) are primary-suspension components that damp vibration, distribute dynamic loads and improve ride comfort. The metal reinforcement uses S355 J2+N steel; the rubber is compounded from NR/SBR/EPDM per application. 1,800 units were supplied to Bombardier vehicles for the Ankara Metro.
