Integrated Maintenance of Railway Vehicles

We ensure comprehensive maintenance for different types of railway vehicles, including: locomotives, passenger coaches, multiple unit trains, freight wagons and special-purpose vehicles.

Safety, reliability, unhindered use and progressive availability are paramount when maintaining our partners’ vehicles. We have also been developing and fulfilling other additional high-quality and reliable services.

Renovation and Re-Modelling of All Types of Railway Vehicles

Our know-how and innovation coupled with state-of-the-art tools and skilled staff allow us to tackle the greatest of challenges. We therefore offer not only maintenance and repair of railway vehicles, but also take on the challenge presented by vehicles of various types that need to be renovated, re-modelled, modified, modernised or improved.

Special care is required when dealing with older vehicles. Naturally, regular maintenance alone is not enough to keep vintage vehicles on the tracks, so we make sure to keep them in line with all safety and quality requirements by conducting various renovation works, improving their performance and modernising them on a case-by-case basis in order to keep them in line with their younger counterparts.
