Rolling stock procurement

As a rail engineering partner, we develop procurement strategies that unify these and many other considerations, forming the basis for sound investments.

We engage with all relevant users and groups, feeding their insights and requirements into detailed technical specifications for future rolling stock. During this process we also benchmark rolling stock options, using our own in-house analytical tools, bringing much needed validation to the claims made in the market place.

At a macro level, we also help networks and train operators to develop long-term fleet strategies including cascades, repurposing and disposal options. Clients gain robust summaries of market options that address immediate technical feasibility of a proposed rolling stock design, supported by insights into the sustainability and reliability of its supply chain. This is vital for operational confidence and future maintenance.

Procurement and net zero

Today, assessing the environmental impact of potential procurements is a vital element of every asset investment. Our wide expertise in rail engineering, operational insights and environmental analysis, enables us to provide robust benchmarking for any given design over its lifespan.

Our expertise in rolling stock engineering, including its underlying technical and operational analysis, is based on decades of experience worldwide. We have worked with rail operators in over 15 countries and continue to bring clients confidence in their rolling stock investments.
