Maintenance Services

Talgo, Inc. in North America can provide a full package of maintenance services for your passenger cars and locomotives.

Our philosophy in the maintenance field has been highly successful as it offers the highest levels of quality in the services provided, a high level of flexibility to adapt to the operator’s needs, and complete service throughout the entire life cycle of the trains.

To accomplish the required maintenance, Talgo, Inc. can analyze the maintenance requirements; determine the tasks and resources necessary to ensure that your equipment is maintained appropriately. The maintenance plan will ensure that customer contract, OEM requirements and Federal Regulations are fully realized and implemented.

The balanced distribution of maintenance tasks is essential to optimize work load and stand still of the trainsets during all the maintenance period. This distribution ensures a correct sizing of personnel and operations for all maintenance requirements.

Using Talgo trains with Talgo Maintenance services provides you an opportunity to reduce the overall Life Cycle Costs (LCC) as Talgo has the skill, knowledge and experience to maintain Talgo trains.

Talgo, Inc's Maintenance Services include:

•     Preventive Maintenance, including FRA Daily Inspections

  The On-Board Technician is a Talgo unique asset, and the most important option chosen by Talgo to approach the maintenance operations. Our experience shows that an important element for the achievement of the maintenance objectives is a permanent, exhaustive and intensive contact with the train, the customer (Amtrak, Renfe, DB AG) and the passengers. Talgo, through the OBT assigned to each train, specifically achieves this contact. He/she provides the maintenance operation and all the information related to the train when it is in motion. He/she also performs a series of duties listed below:
  
  
  • Preparation of the train prior to departure, connecting HVAC units and all the other installations (after a S & I layover service)
