DB ESG has, in collaboration with DB Systemtechnik (DB ST), been appointed to provide Quality Assurance services to Transport for London (TfL) for its new Piccadilly line trains.
The company will provide independent quality assurances during the design, building and testing phases of the new fleet of 94 Siemens Mobility trains.
The new fleet will form part of TfL’s Piccadilly Line Upgrade programme.
DB ESG is also set to conduct a number of surveillance activities throughout the entire manufacturing process in order to monitor the meeting of required and agreed upon quality standards.
Support will also be provided by DB, which regularly performs inspections of this type for customers.
Nick Goodhand, Managing Director at DB ESG said:Having local teams available in both the UK and the EU offers significant benefits in terms of availability, local language skills and in-depth knowledge of facilities and processes. This greatly supports a robust and efficient approach to this project.
