The future of mobility will not be shaped by concepts alone. Without implementation, strategies remain theory, fleets fall behind, and opportunities for efficiency and sustainability are lost. What makes the difference is turning plans into action.

By connecting digitalisation, fleet strategy, and maintenance optimisation, PROSE makes rail operations safer, more efficient, and more sustainable.

Find concrete examples on how we have put this into practice:

• Digitalisation of maintenance specifications: Standard-compliant maintenance planning
• Increased efficiency in maintenance and optimisation of life cycle costs: costs and procurement optimisation in a sustainable manner
• Auxiliary bogie development for trams in workshop

What challenge can we help you solve?

Five things that get easier when your rolling stock project is delivered end-to-end:

1. Clear responsibilities across all phases
2. Engineering and interfaces that stay aligned
3. Compliance and authorisation planned early
4. More predictable timelines
5. Consistent technical quality from concept to commissioning

At PROSE, we connect all these steps through coordinated engineering and project leadership, helping you bring vehicles into service smoothly and reliably.

Explore a selection of our end-to-end projects: 

• Turnkey Engineering for snowblower
• SCHÖMA: design and authorisation strategy for maintenance machine
• Maglev TR08 adaptation: reassembly, commissioning, and modifications for operation

Which part of a project is the hardest to keep aligned in your experience?

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.

• Extending the life of Cobra trams
• C20 driver’s desk refurbishment: QA with suppliers & production
• Trusted expertise for the authorisation of new trams in Dortmund
• Our modernisation white paper

Did you know that optimising wheel-rail interaction can significantly reduce lifecycle costs while improving safety and comfort? Poor running dynamics do the opposite: higher wear, rising costs, and reduced passenger experience. At PROSE, we help operators detect and correct issues early through advanced simulations and expert assessments. The result: stable, safe, and efficient operations across all types of rolling stock.

Getting a vehicle authorised on time matters for every project. If the process is delayed, it can affect schedules, budgets and daily operations. When design, documentation, testing and compliance are aligned early, authorisation becomes more predictable and efficient.

At PROSE, our senior experts bring decades of experience and strong industry networks. We ensure that authorisation is part of the process from day one, so your vehicles are ready for service upon delivery.

Here are some examples of how our authorisation expertise keeps projects moving:

•  Definition of a vehicle authorisation strategy for a driver advisor system: https://prose.one/definition-of-a-vehicle-authorisation-strategy-for-a-driver-advisor-system/
•  Vehicle Authorisation: handling of the entire approval process: https://prose.one/vehicle-authorisation/

What do you see as the biggest challenge in vehicle authorisation today?
