With the UK rail industry leading the way in cutting edge engineering projects, Swiss engineering partner PROSE Group felt that 2021 was the perfect time to bring its specialist experience in rolling stock engineering to the UK.
Newly appointed PROSE Group CEO, Jochen Helmlinger, has bold plans for the business throughout 2021 and explains that: “At PROSE, we are bringing our innovative and collaborative engineering solutions to the UK rail industry in 2021. With over 3,000 projects completed or underway in over 50 countries globally, PROSE’s experience will be hugely beneficial to the market.”
PROSE’s success has been born through hard work and innovation. Understanding the vehicle life cycle and how this impacts its partners is what sets PROSE aside and forms the strong customer relationships that the business strives for.
Specialising in design-led engineering, PROSE also offers an extensive range of supporting services which is representative of a business able to create a truly bespoke offering every time. At the same time, this doesn’t impact on the quality of the company’s offering. The extensive experience the company has in rail technology places it at the forefront of engineering development.
With offices across Europe, Group CEO Jochen Helmlinger says the firm is poised to support clients on a range of projects across the rolling stock sector: “We are excited to be bringing our services to the UK rail market. We are able to mobilise rapidly and provide our expert solutions to operators and suppliers across the UK, whether they require support with design, feasibility, maintenance, fleet optimisation or more, we are the ideal partner.”
As technology continues to develop in line with new socio-economic requirements, so does PROSE’s ability to innovate. Group CEO Jochen Helmlinger adds: “At PROSE we have faced countless challenges in our 30-year history as a business and I’ve no doubt we will continue to do so. It is safe to say that the speed of technological development will only increase over the coming years. However, being able to react to the challenges comes naturally to us.”
A prime example of PROSE’s ingenuity is its role as a major contributor in the Revolution Very Light Rail (RVLR) consortium. The RVLR consortium was created as there is a need within the UK rail industry for vehicles which are lighter, more energy efficient and cheaper to purchase and operate. The emerging very light rail (VLR) sector aims to remedy this with its approach being fundamental to the provision of integrated and sustainable, short range public transport systems both now and in the future.
PROSE was founded in 1982, in Switzerland, as an independent engineering company, specialising in rolling stock engineering. The firm’s vision of ‘Engineering tomorrow’s mobility’ is demonstrated through its full range of services designed to manage and support the full vehicle life cycle.
