How are PROSE and Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) shaping the future of eco-friendly transportation?

PROSE is working with the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) as part of its initiative to switch to climate-neutral yellow fleet vehicles.

In this complex project, where battery operation is not yet fully regulated, PROSE has supported SBB by further developing the standard requirements catalog for the battery subsystem.

Our work included:

• Content adaptation and extension: adaptation of requirements to operational and environmental objectives.
• Categorisation: Differentiation of requirements into functional and non-functional to increase clarity.
• Criteria weighting: Definition of “MUST” and “SHOULD” criteria to support the evaluation matrix of the tendering process.

Our collaboration facilitated the integration of these specifications into SBB’s requirements management system, Polarion®, and prepared SBB for a successful tender process.

This collaboration is an important step towards modernising public transport in Switzerland with a focus on sustainability. We strive to deliver effective solutions that support our partners in achieving their environmental and operational goals, shaping the mobility of tomorrow.
