Modern railway vehicles feature complex high-technology and are designed for a long lifespan under extreme conditions, typically 30 years. They represent significant capital expenditure for train operating companies and leasing companies. The procurement of new rolling stock, therefore, must be carefully managed and assessed. ENOTRAC offers railway operators comprehensive support at all stages of the acquisition process, from the writing of calls for tender documentation (as per World Trade Organisation guidelines), and the objective evaluation of bids, to the approval of design documentation and the management of the vehicle acceptance process.

Through our engineering expertise, we provide concrete technical solutions for vehicle manufacturers, for instance in the protection of high-voltage circuits, interference current monitoring, filter design, or the optimisation of regenerative brake characteristics. ENOTRAC customers also benefit from our experience and software tools in other specialist areas, such as traction power supply, energy consumption calculations, and compatibility with signalling systems.

The economic, technical and operative lifespan of existing vehicles can be significantly prolonged through the replacement of out-dated systems by more powerful or cost-effective solutions and the use of the most up-to-date technology. Such an approach favours value conservation and promotes a responsible and sustainable usage of resources. ENOTRAC engineers are delighted to meet the challenge of modernising existing vehicles.
