The intended service life of rail vehicles can exceed the lifespan of the installed components and the period of availability of spare parts. As a result, obsolescence problems arise. To enable the continued economical operation of existing vehicles, KES has specialised in offering ‘fit form and function’ compatible replacement products based on KES proven technologies.

A particular advantage of KES products is their modular design, which makes it possible to adapt them to customer-specific applications, especially in the case of obsolescence projects. The aim is always to find a replacement for the vehicle with minimal wiring and piping conversion work, as well as any necessary approval of the changes.
