Our comprehensive, high-quality
maintenance programme can be
tailored to any train application
or service pattern and is a reliable,
low-cost operation dedicated to the
long-term reliability o eets. In eect,
maintenance planned rom the initial
design concept leads to minimal
ailures and thus, minimal
breakdown costs.
Our maintenance processes are
developed rom successul Japanese
experiences and we have transerred
this knowledge to Europe.
Employing and training multi-skilled
engineers and technicians, we
continually develop our sta and
run an apprenticeship scheme
to train our workorce o tomorrow.
We ensure maintenance sta have
a comprehensive understanding
o Kaizen* and Hitachi’s maintenance
philosophy, to deliver and continually
improve the best service to
our customers.
All records and details are kept in
one database, using a paperless
maintenance management package
and are used to analyse problems,
monitor components or simply plan
workloads and optimise spares.
Wireless networking and robust
laptops enable instant remote access
to all inormation, enhancing our sta
efciency and contributing to reliable
trains and ast turnaround.
*Kaizen (Japanese for ‘improvement’
or ‘change for the better’) refers to
philosophy or practices that focus upon
continuous improvement of processes in
manufacturing, engineering, supporting
business processes and management.

Hitachi replaced 194 traction packages
on the Class 465 commuter train at the
rate o two trains per week. This project
has been successul in dramatically
improving the perormance o the
traction equipment on the trains,
allowing the customer to ocus on
a eet enhancement package. The
project was undertaken at Ashord,
utilising the capabilities o the depot
maintenance team. We managed and
achieved heavy lit road ftment o the
equipment on time and to budget,
with a zero ailure rate attributed to
