The CompanyIn 2002 a team of skilled engineers, after a decade of common experience in rolling stockdevelopment for a primary italian rolling stock manufacturer, decided to create an indipendentengineering and consultancy company: New Rail Engineering.

The experience and the understanding of the founders, current members of New RailEngineering, from the beginning has allowed a high-level position, confirmed over the years bythe appreciation of customers for the quality of services in research and development of rollingstock.

The company has built partnerships with well known specialists and realities and could, thus,grow and expand the services offered with a wide performance range, consolidating an alreadyextensive experience.

Today New Rail Engineering can provide engineering and project management covering all phasesof the birth of a rail vehicle.

New Rail Engineering has acquired in the two decades of experience of its team, a deepknowledge of Italian and foreign rolling stock and, more generally, of the railway system, logisticsand public transport.

Relationship and team oriented job approach allow the company to work with full autonomy andresponsibility or, elsewhere, in team with customer specialists, according to specific customerneeds.

Main servicesNew Rail Engineering has developed a more-than-a-decade experience with the implementationof several projects of rolling stock, the participation in research projects at national and Europeanlevel and working in joint ventures with foreign partner(in Europe, South America and Japan).

This wealth of experience is available to our customers (industry, transport companies, rollingstock owners, Notified Bodies) through our professional network to offer :

• Technical and business consultancy

• Commercial relationships throuout all Europe that allowed to build a pool of companies, able to answer proptly to all customer requirments;

SYSTEM ENGINEERING

The setting of the technical activities of a supply as complex and articulated as a railwayvehicle is essential for optimal development of the contract activities: design, construction,purchase.

The technical framework of the contract must allow to highlight, from the earliest stages ofsetting, the critical aspects in order that their effects on the activities can be properlyplanned and managed.

This activity has, therefore, a fundamental role in the technical and economic success of thejob and is configured as an interdisciplinary link between the offer and project: it cannot bebe left to a soloist, as experienced and capable, but it requires different skills and thereforedifferent professionals. It is foundamental to involve in this activity Company’s key personnelwho will manage the project and also the ones who defined the offer.
