Fleet development

We offer support and advice concerning the development and implementation of strategic plans for traction and rolling stock.

How we can help

• We assess if a transport concept is technically, organisationally and financially feasible considering the choice of rolling stock and taking into account the related transport concession or service need.

• We provide life cycle costings to allow an optimum choice of railway vehicles to be made.

• We are a source of current technical and commercial knowledge through our continuous monitoring and analysis of the market and developments in the transport sector.

What are the benefits?

• For government: informed input into the specification of concessions giving realistic but challenging objectives.

• For suppliers: improved understanding and risk reduction in the application of design concepts.

• For operators: detailed understanding of the lifecycle implications of strategic development plans - and therefore improved decision making.

Recent projects

• For a freight owner/operator, we proposed a programme for improving their effectiveness based on an analysis of their track layout, freight transport lines, available locomotives and wagons as well as available personnel.
