EPH supported a renowned manufacturer of railway vehicles for the procurement and supply of wheel sets and bogies. The first step taken by EPH was to set up the technical specification within

• The operational environment (heavy or light rail, crane or lifting platform operation)
• vehicle configuration (carbody, underframe, superstructure, attachments)
• The bogies (axle loads, riding comfort, derailment)

On the basis of the aforementioned parameters, EPH supported the manufacturer in the procurement of the bogies and wheelsets. By coordinating the complete process, EPH ensured the high quality of the supplied product for the vehicle manufacturer. Together with the supplier, EPH carried out the FDR (Final Design Review), FAI (First Article Inspection), FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) and SAT (Site Acceptance Test) for the vehicle manufacturer. 

EPH actively worked with both customer and supplier on all technical and commercial aspects in order to achieve a product that completely fulfils the most important demands: high quality, high reliability, availability and maintainability, and last but not least, a long life cycle of more than 30 years.
