Rail Sector Asset Management & Asset Valuation
Secure high quality and availability of your railway vehicles and facilities with the help of our asset management services
Reliable infrastructure and on-time ready-to-operate vehicles are essential to ensure smooth operations both in mainline and public rail transport.
It is therefore important that all the parties involved in investment, procurement and purchasing know the technical condition and value of the assets in question. This is true for financing, leasing or rental hand-overs, re-sales, and for situations where future investments need to be classified or warranty claims are made.
In all these cases, we are the right partner to have by your side. Our experts assist you during the vehicle engineering and manufacturing with quality assurance, contract implementation monitoring and the built supervision of rail infrastructure and facilities. We can also help you with the testing and condition assessment of assets and the subsequent valuation. Benefit from our interdisciplinary team, our extensive experience and resulting comprehensive practical knowledge.
