Our Approach

PROSE analyzed the existing documentation of the MGB, the RhB and the zb and compared them in a jointly defined depth and structure to be developed together. Further PROSE captured the vision of the future of the three operators in the four topics: 1. market, 2. operation and production, 3. technology and 4. infrastructure, as well as the classification for each topic.

Customer benefit

The joint achievement of the objectives of the “analysis” phase represents an important milestone for the project partners (MGB, RhB, zb) in defining the strategic direction of the next project phase, in which the upcoming vehicle procurement by means of a call for tenders in accordance with BöB/VöV is located.
