On 24 January, we had the privilege of joining experts from across the railway industry in Olten to discuss the past, present, and future of railway maintenance. From Federal Office of Transport FOT  and SUST to major railway companies like BLS AG and SBB CFF FFS, as well as associations like International Union of Wagon Keepers (UIP), VPI – Verband der Güterwagenhalter in Deutschland e. V., and Die Zentralbahn – the event brought together key stakeholders to exchange insights and ideas.

Key takeaways:

• An ECM organisation can implement the ECM regulation in a way that aligns with its specific needs.
• Strengthening information exchange between railway undertakings and ECMs is important for improving maintenance specifications.

At PROSE, we were excited to contribute to these discussions— Dr. Bernhard Frei explored strategies for digitising historic railway vehicles, and Lukas Müller led a workshop on enhancing information sharing in ECM maintenance development.

A big thank you to the organisers and participants for making this event a valuable experience! Let’s keep the conversation going.

We extend our best wishes to our partners and customers in China celebrating the Lunar New Year

Thank you for your continued trust and collaboration—we look forward to another year of working together in shaping tomorrows mobility.

Our first office in Germany was opened in Berlin on November 1, 2009 to strengthen our expertise in engineering and consulting.

In the 15-year-old photo, you see Stefan Bühler as CEO PROSE CH at that time, and André Rohrbeck as Managing Director PROSE DE at that time, in front of the Berlin District Court, Charlottenburg.

Since then, we have continuously expanded our German business. In 2011, a second office in Munich was established by acquiring Ebmeyer und Butz GmbH.

During these 15 years, we have supported over 100 German customers in more than 1000 projects, establishing a strong presence in the German market thanks to our unique expertise in railway technology. Read more about our projects here: https://prose.one/our-references/

A big thank you to our customers for your trust over the years and to our employees for making our success possible. We aim to further grow in the German market and to offer our full range of services from the PROSE Group. We are also seeking new colleagues to contribute to our continued success.

Do you want to join us on the journey of shaping tomorrow’s mobility?

…it’s how we influence our industry! By joining forces with our peers, we can make a difference and shape the outcomes of decisions and proposals.

At the Verband der Bahnindustrie in Deutschland (VDB) e.V. (German Railway Industry Association) event, held in Berlin just before InnoTrans, we experienced first-hand how associations create platforms that bring peers together and why these connections are essential.

Besides the enjoyable event, here are our key takeaways:

• Conversations with sustainability experts highlighted potential partnerships in circular economy initiatives in Germany, promising to align our efforts with sustainable practices.
• Insights from DAC Europe specialists shed light on the complex journey towards digitalising rail freight transport, sparking discussions on overcoming current challenges.

These experiences remind us why we are committed to being active members: to network, engage with thought leaders, and stay ahead in driving meaningful change.

We are looking forward to the next steps. Let’s connect and shape the mobility of tomorrow together

Guess what we are doing in the photo?
Yes, we were trying to perform maintenance on a new train in an existing workshop. And in the end, we found a solution that allowed us to work in an upright, safe position.

In workshop planning, we have to care about working security, ergonomics, and efficiency. We want our customers to be aware of the infrastructural challenges.

At the IHRUS conference on Thursday 14th of November, we are going to present more challenges and our approach to developing solutions.
Take the opportunity to listen to our expert Tobias Hoppe and how PROSE addresses the dilemma: “Old depot, new fleet?” The fleet order is usually before the workshop planning. We show you how it can still work.

Last week,PROSE-employees Dr. Felix Saur, Yves Kohler and Stefan Bühler had the privilege of attending the “Lärmforschung Eisenbahn” event organised by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment FOEN (BAFU). The event was a hub of knowledge and innovation with around 70 participants from Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.

The program featured six compelling speeches on the topic of noise emissions from railway vehicles. Various models were presented and discussed, each aiming to determine the noise generated by railway vehicles accurately. These models are becoming increasingly detailed and complex, considering the characteristics of the vehicle, the rail, and its substructure.

A notable highlight was the comparison between Switzerland’s state-of-the-art models and Germany’s older “Schall 03” model, showcasing Switzerland’s leading role in driving innovation in this field.

We are proud to be part of events that foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing across borders. We look forward to leveraging these insights to further improve our contributions to the industry.
