Retrofitting vehicles with ETCS presents significant technical, procedural, and certification challenges. We provide comprehensive support - from the initial assessment to successful commissioning—ensuring a structured, efficient, and safe implementation.
We take responsibility throughout every project phase: from planning and professional project management to engineering, integration, retrofitting, testing, and certification. Based on a thorough analysis of your existing vehicle fleet, we develop tailored integration concepts, select suitable systems and components, and implement them with precision across electrical, mechanical, and software domains.
Working closely with workshops, partners, and relevant stakeholders, we deliver both individual vehicle modifications and large-scale retrofit programs. Supported by structured testing and acceptance concepts as well as comprehensive safety management, we ensure that your vehicles enter service on time, in compliance with all applicable standards, and with maximum reliability.
The result is a future-proof solution that sustainably modernizes your fleet and prepares it for the requirements of digital rail transportation.
As an independent engineering partner, we select systems and components solely based on your requirements. This enables tailored solutions without manufacturer dependencies—technically optimized and economically sound.
With extensive expertise across a wide range of onboard systems, we seamlessly integrate new technologies into existing vehicle architectures and ensure smooth interaction between all components.
Our established network of suppliers, assessors, and relevant authorities enables efficient coordination and focused project execution—from planning through certification.
Drawing on extensive project experience across diverse railway vehicle systems, we identify challenges early and combine proven methods with innovative approaches to ensure safe and efficient implementation.
ETCS integration was required for locomotives and rail vehicles that had been in operation for many years. Limited installation space, varying vehicle conditions, and legacy systems created significant challenges for system design, integration, and compliance verification.
Based on detailed vehicle analyses, we developed a robust integration concept that considered all relevant standards and processes. Leveraging our engineering expertise and established partner network, we delivered tailored solutions using a structured and proven implementation methodology.
The project resulted in a reliable and standards-compliant integration solution that performs successfully even under challenging conditions. The structured approach enabled efficient implementation and established a solid foundation for future retrofit projects.
Thanks to our experience across a wide range of vehicle development projects, we bring proven methodologies and industry best practices directly into your project. At the same time, our lean organizational structure and short decision-making paths enable high flexibility and rapid responsiveness.
Through efficient project structures and optimized processes, we are able to deliver services in a cost-effective manner. At the same time, you avoid the costs associated with building internal capabilities and benefit from the flexible allocation of resources according to your project needs.
We have extensive experience with leading ETCS onboard systems and maintain close relationships with manufacturers and industry partners. This enables us to ensure that our solutions are aligned with the latest state of the art and designed to remain future-proof.
