Customers often ask us how long a retrofit will take or how much it will cost. They’re important questions, and the answer starts with understanding the complexity behind every vehicle.
Our modernisation and retrofit expert, Dr Alexander Mahr, has decades of experience supporting modernisation projects across Europe. When asked what determines the success of a retrofit project, he puts it simply:
“No two retrofit projects are the same. The better you understand a vehicle’s history and future requirements, the more predictable the project becomes.”
Dr Alexander Mahr sees the same challenges time and again: poor-quality documentation, obsolete components and undocumented vehicle modifications can complicate planning.
Another underestimated challenge is the vehicle authorisation process after a modernisation. As fleets become more connected through onboard Wi-Fi, passenger information systems and ETCS, cybersecurity is also becoming an essential part of every modernisation project. Meeting evolving requirements, including NIS2 and the Cyber Reslience Act, is now part of preparing existing fleets for the future.
This is where PROSE comes in: we help manage complexity and deliver modernisation projects with confidence, offering expertise in modernisation, cybersecurity, vehicle authorisation and electrical engineering.
