TCMS for Train Modernisation and Refurbishment

Modernising a fleet can be a cost‑effective way to improve safety, comfort, and performance. Fleet upgrades also support compliance with current standards and extend the life of existing vehicles.

EKE-Electronics brings four decades of experience in train automation, system integration and onboard communications. More than 1,200 coaches across multiple countries have been refurbished using EKE-Electronics’ platform.

From Idea to Implementation and Beyond

Initial Consultation

Your journey with us begins when you share requirements for TCMS upgrades or new SIL capabilities. Our team will review your goals and constraints to ensure that we align with your technical needs.

Pre-Study
