Fleet modernisation: Smarter, sustainable solutions through retrofitting

Replace or retrofit? For many operators, the most sustainable answer is not new trains, but smarter ones.

Fleets often need to meet new performance, safety, and sustainability targets long before they reach the end of their life. Upgrading traction systems, interiors, and controls can improve efficiency, safety, and passenger comfort, while extending fleet life and keeping operations compliant.

Together with our partners IFTEC and ICS, DIE RETROFITTER cooperation, we deliver comprehensive tram and light rail modernisation services, combining engineering expertise, cost-efficient hardware and software solutions, manufacturing, and maintenance. The result: sustainable, future-ready vehicles and reduced lifecycle costs.
