CWE Ltd, the independent supply, maintenance and logistics partner for the rail industry, has announced the expansion of its leading bogie refurbishing and overhauling service.
The news comes after the Crowle-based business decided to ramp up its bogie menu as part of efforts to invest in the future of the company and provide customers with the best possible products and services. Currently, CWE has multiple bogie projects running through production – the highest recorded amount on site.
The expansion of its bogie menu will also enable CWE to offer its customers and partners a wider range of options, which can help to improve the performance and reliability of their trains and better meet their specific needs.
