Innovations in the coating of rail vehicles – Back in France

ECOLROMAT returns to its origins in France. In November 2026, leading experts in rail vehicle painting from all over Europe will meet to network and exchange ideas about innovations and new developments.

Together with our new Advisory Board* of renowned experts, we have identified the following topics as particularly relevant and look forward to receiving your submissions for possible presentations on:

• Automation in application and pre-treatment
• Fast-drying coating systems
• Novel functional coatings
• Colour measurement and colour matching
• Quality control
• Graffiti removal and protection of pictograms
• Solutions for quick paint repair in interiors
• Easy-to-clean and water consumption during cleaning

Do you have a topic that is not on the list? Don’t hesitate to contact us. We are open-minded and not afraid to think outside the box.

As part of Ecolromat, you can present your innovations to an exciting mix of OEMs, rail operators, institutes and relevant suppliers. In addition to traditional technical presentations, the conference offers interactive formats that encourage exchange and guarantee new contacts in the industry.

Be there when the future of international rail vehicle coating is discussed at the conference and in various workshops.

Please submit your paper proposal until May 22, 2026 including a short abstract via the online form or send an e-mail to jan.gesthuizen@vincentz.net
