Sustainability with EKE-Electronics
At EKE-Electronics, we are committed to sustainability, ensuring our business is conducted in an environmentally responsible way. We understand the importance of protecting the environment and are working to reduce our ecological impact by adopting sustainable practices and continually improving our operations. In partnership with our suppliers, we also aim to reduce the emissions from our products.
We support our customers’ sustainability goals with reliable solutions for next-generation low-emission propulsion systems, including hydrogen and battery-powered trains, backed by at least 20 years of lifecycle support and comprehensive repair services.
At least 95% of the products sent to us are repaired rather than replaced, reducing electronic waste and minimising environmental impact.
Sustainability in Action: Our Journey With You
Rail is one of the most environmentally friendly modes of transport, and our solutions help rolling stock manufacturers and rail operators meet their sustainability goals. However, our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just our products and solutions. We are also focused on improving sustainability within our own operations. While we are still early in our sustainability journey, we have already taken steps, such as transitioning to renewable energy, to reduce our environmental impact.
How do our customers benefit ?
EKE-Trainnet® systems are applicable for next-generation low-emission propulsion systems such as hydrogen, battery-electric, and hybrid trains. Our TCMS platform can integrate with these propulsion technologies and manage transitions between power sources in hybrid configurations, such as switching between diesel and electric, or from catenary to battery-electric operation.
As hydrogen propulsion technology continues to develop, certain safety functions may require SIL-certified solutions. With proven SIL 2 capabilities and experience in safety-critical systems, EKE-Electronics is well positioned to support the implementation of any such requirements as they emerge.
How are EKE-Electronics' products and solutions becoming more sustainable?
Our solutions are designed with a focus on high reliability, ensuring long-lasting performance and minimising the need for frequent repairs or replacements. This reliability not only reduces operational downtime but also contributes significantly to sustainability. By extending the lifespan of equipment and reducing waste, our solutions help reduce the environmental impact associated with manufacturing, maintenance, and disposal.
At EKE-Electronics, instead of swapping electronics boards, we commit ourselves to repairing the products sent to us for service. By doing this, we gain unique feedback from the field about our product’s reliability and functionality. The collected real-life failure statistics back up the reliability EKE-Electronics promises for its products.
We are committed to providing emissions data for all our products and work continuously to reduce their environmental impact, helping our customers make informed decisions and lower the emissions of their trains.
We aim to minimise the environmental impact of our deliveries by selecting more sustainable packaging materials and choosing transportation options with lower emissions whenever possible.
