Activities

We support our clients in the acquisition, maintenance, overhaul, modification and modernization of railway vehicles. We also offer support services in the areas of maintenance workshops, track and electrification equipment. Our customers are railway operators, owners of rolling stock, local authorities and states. All our activities are carried out in compliance with the railway standards and regulations applicable in the countries where we operate.

Rather than pushing off-the-shelf solutions, we prefer to listen to our customers on the questions and issues they face. Governments, local communities, operators, rail operators: each of these rail players faces specific challenges. Our support allows us to provide them with the most complete solution possible at an optimized cost. We offer tailor-made support.

We mobilize engineers who bring a long experience in rolling stock engineering. Our experts understand all the main functions of the train and its environment: bogies, traction chain, body, interiors, pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical, electronic systems, tracks and switches, power supply, maintenance workshops.

In the execution phases, we rely on component suppliers and manufacturing subcontractors. Our partners are selected on the basis of their technical knowledge of rail. We favor partners recognized by the European rail industry.

Our head office is located in the heart of Hauts-de-France, a region with a strong railway tradition.

Each solution we offer is argued and costed. Where appropriate, we offer our customers scenarios that allow them to choose the best compromise between cost – time – level of service provided. Our project management processes include rigorous quality controls at each stage, both in study and in execution.

Arterail is a structure involved in promoting the French rail expertise. We are driven by a sense of service, teamwork and innovation.
