Insights into the procurement of service vehicles

In the latest issue of ‘Swiss Railway Review’ (Schweizer Eisenbahn-Revue Heft 03/2025), our PROSE-experts Chantal Pietsch and Yves Kohler shed light on the complex process of procuring service vehicles for transport companies and infrastructure operators.

Here are the key take aways:

  • Identifying the specific requirements for different types of company vehicles is critical to ensuring efficiency and sustainability in operations
  • Strategic financial planning is essential to enable procurement without compromising on quality and technical progress
  • Keeping up with the latest technological developments can significantly extend the service life of service vehicles
  • After procurement, a well-planned maintenance and training schedule is essential to maximise the life and effectiveness of the vehicles

Many thanks to Müller Technologie AG and ZAUGG AG EGGIWIL for providing the pictures in our article.

We are happy to share more insights on how we address the everyday challenges of procurement. Reach out to find out more: https://prose.one/contact/

Working together to innovate and shape the future of rail freight

With the LEILA Light bogie, developed in collaboration between JOSEF MEYER Rail and PROSE, we are setting new standards in rail freight transport. The joint venture stands for efficiency, sustainability and technical excellence: LEILA Light reduces noise and minimises wear and tear on the rail infrastructure, resulting in significant cost advantages and increased speed.  

But such innovations require more than just technology. Cooperation and targeted use of resources are crucial to overcoming challenges such as the asymmetrical distribution of the costs of technologies and jointly paving the way for the future.

Do you remember our Gauge-Changing Bogie project? 

Do you remember our Gauge-Changing Bogie project? 

We are excited to share that PROSE’s innovative gauge-changing bogie project has caught the attention of the Chinese press! Originally developed in collaboration with MOB, this project has evolved from a simple prototype into a complex series production system, demonstrating the strength of our technical expertise. With phases ranging from feasibility analysis, mechanical and control engineering development to detailed manufacturing design, this project remains a milestone in our journey. 

The recognition from international media highlights the lasting impact of our work in advancing rail technology.

New article in TECHreport

Check out the new article featured in the latest TECHreport. PROSE collaborates with Bernmobil and LeanBI in pioneering intelligent railhead conditioning systems. PROSE-employee Felix Saur contributed to the article, delving into this groundbreaking project funded by the Swiss Federal Office of Transport (BAV) from 2023 to mid-2025.

This project aims to optimise railhead conditioning using sensors and AI to minimise wear and tear, reduce noise emissions and protect the environment through the precise dosing of conditioning agents. The combination of technology and AI interprets data to recognise when and where railhead conditioning is required on the Bernmobil network so that vehicles equipped with mobile conditioning units can act quickly when these areas are reached.

This decentralised approach, which processes massive amounts of data with AI, ensures fast, precise measures for efficient rail maintenance.
