PROSE continues its efforts to improve the integrity and maintenance of railway vehicles. Following the successful creation of a detailed 3D model for a dining car in 2023, we look forward to tackling further work packages for this vehicle. 

Our upcoming projects involve comprehensive measures for corrosion repair and an updated finite element calculation to assess the car body’s condition. These efforts signify our commitment to ensuring safety and durability in rail transportation, employing cutting-edge methodologies for precision and reliability. 

Stay tuned for more updates on our journey toward elevating railway vehicle standards! 

Do you want to improve your rolling stock by implementing modifications or deploying it in new territories? Take advantage of our knowledge and get approval with PROSE as your vehicle authorisation partner in the railway industry!

Modernisations and retrofits guarantee enhanced reliability, superior passenger comfort and open up new applications by integrating new systems. The sophisticated approval process under the 4th Railway Package ensures safe rail transport and the best possible interoperability throughout the EU. However, this represents a significant challenge for operators, keepers and owners when implementing changes to rolling stock.

At PROSE, we recognise that each railway vehicle is unique. Our team develops vehicle authorisation strategies that address the specific challenges of your products and needs. Whether it is about electrical or mechanical changes, our experts have the knowledge to successfully guide you through the process and elevate your market situation. We ensure your railway vehicles comply with the latest standards and regulations. From documentation preparation to submission, we get you covered.

Don’t let vehicle authorisation hurdles derail your success, contact us today to discuss how we can support you!

New maintenance equipment? New rolling stock? New tasks? Does the new fit into your existing workshop? PROSE can make sure that everything fits together in your maintenance workshop! 

Workshops have often developed over time and have fixed, moving and mobile structures. It is almost impossible to capture this complexity in a 3D CAD model. It is therefore difficult to check whether new fleets, tools, platforms, etc. fit into the existing workshop.  

PROSE uses the HoloLens 2, a mixed reality headset, to check directly in the workshop whether new (not yet existing) elements match the elements already installed. These are the advantages:  

• Simple verification without building a prototype
• Risk reduction when introducing new fleets, key points can be analysed before the vehicle is built. This enables optimum preparation of the workshop
• Optimisation of custom-made equipment in the existing workshop before the design process is completed  
• 1:1 reality check on site with the staff to check whether the new equipment fulfil the requirements for fast and efficient maintenance

Are you struggling with the ECM regulation (EU) 2019/779 certification or its day-to-day application? We are here to help you navigate!

Our latest achievement speaks for our solid ECM know-how and supportive consultancy.

Over the last few months, we have teamed up with Train-Ing, doing useful workshops, customised training sessions, and process document reviews. All our teamwork led to an anticipated stage 1 test audit, putting Train-Ing on track to successfully pass the required audit with the certification body before end of the year. And we can proudly say: Congratulations Train-Ingg for a successful certification!

PROSE had the honour to present its latest White Paper at the IHRUS Congress in Lucerne, Switzerland.  

After the topic of “Asset Management of the Day After Tomorrow” gained broad acceptance in the rail industry in 2022, a White Paper on “Rolling Stock Maintenance of the Day After Tomorrow” was produced in 2023. Collaborating with futurist Dr. Joël Luc Cachelin, we explored disruptive changes in our industry, shedding light on the revolutionary future of rolling stock maintenance. 

PROSE cordially invites you to a joint discussion of our final conclusions on rolling stock maintenance in 2050. We also look forward to supporting your company in the specific implementation of the next steps. 

Whether it’s Electric (E), Diesel Electric (DE), Battery Electric (BE), or Hydrogen Electric (HE) multiple units, metros, or locomotives, we’ve got you covered!
