Extensive spare parts supply
To keep a rail service on track around the clock, our customers can rely on a range of more than 1,000,000 spare parts numbers, available directly in their warehouse or held in our central stock.
Parts and part kits can be supplied in response to ad hoc requests, based on a pre-defined parts list with negotiated prices. But our supply chain expertise is best employed in our Availability service, where we replenish our customers’ stocks of a list of key critical parts as and when they use them. This means zero lead times for locally-held parts, and guaranteed 48-hour delivery from our central warehouse for the others. The return on experience obtained also helps to anticipate future needs and enhance predictive maintenance, while customers also benefit financially from lower inventories.

Our parts and components offering is complemented by an extensive repair and overhaul service for rolling stock and signalling equipment. Customers can rely on our unit exchange service option for rapid repairs, while our six lead service centres across Europe can refurbish entire components and return them to like-new condition.
We can also enable further reliability for our customers, transferring the technology of the test benches and special tools used by our maintenance teams to third parties, enabling them to test components such as braking systems, electronic modules and circuit boards.
