Revitalising Rail Fleets: The Power of Modernisation

Today’s rail fleets must do more than just run; they must evolve with new technologies, fulfill operational requirements, and remain economically viable.

Our latest white paper on fleet strategy and modernisation measures highlights the importance of a well-thought-out fleet strategy covering the entire life cycle. Discover how targeted modernisation can reduce operating and life cycle costs, boost sustainability, and meet evolving requirements.

Whether it’s a refit, retrofit, upgrade, or redesign, every measure needs a solid foundation of technical evaluation, economic analysis, and strategic planning. Our methodology ensures this is possible.

Authorisation of service vehicles: an underestimated risk?

The revision of the LOC&PAS TSI in 2023 has created a new level of complexity for many stakeholders in the rail sector, especially when it comes to the multinational authorisation of On-track machines.

In the March and April editions of the “Schweizer Eisenbahnrevue”, Stefan Bühler shed light on the resulting challenges and explains why national authorisations are currently often the only viable option, especially for Switzerland and its border routes. His article is now available as a PROSE white paper (in German only).

A key conclusion:

“On track machines must be able to be precisely adapted to tasks. This requires regulations and processes that enable innovative and adaptive solutions.”

At PROSE, we guide manufacturers, infrastructure managers, operators and authorities through these complex processes in an independent, experienced and straight forward manner.

Rolling stock maintenance of the future

Where will vehicles be maintained in 2050?

How will automation, digitalisation and ongoing urbanisation shape maintenance?

How will the interaction between humans and robots change?

How should the industry respond to the growing shortage of skilled workers?

With the help of Joël Luc Cachelin, PROSE has developed five theses on the future of maintenance. They are intended to stimulate reflection and discussion and support strategic planning. A structured approach and analysis of expected influences is the first step towards a successful future.

Risk minimisation for small fleets

Procuring rail vehicles has never been as complex as it is today, especially for small and medium-sized operators. Global market consolidation, shrinking supplier pools and increasing technical requirements are pushing many to their limits.

Our latest PROSE white paper shows how you can minimise risks when procuring small fleets through:

  • Targeted support from experts
  • Life cycle-oriented procurement planning
  • Long-term harmonised strategies for rail vehicles
  • With concrete case studies such as the VDV tram-train tender and the collaboration with MGB, RhB and zb
