Spare Parts

NRail GmbH was founded in 2018 and aims to drive digitization in the rail sector. The company is part of the Paribus Group, which manages around €3 billion in investments in railroads and real estate.

The Paribus Group entered the rail sector in 2008 with the founding of Northrail GmbH, which is one of the leading rental providers in Europe with a vehicle pool of more than 420 rail vehicles.

In 2018, NRail launched its Paula data box, a telematics solution used by railway undertakings (RUs) to support the organization and management of their own vehicle fleets. The Paula data box can be used on any locomotive, regardless of manufacturer, and provides a great deal of valuable information in addition to position, mileage and operating hours.

The maintenance, servicing and repair of rail vehicles is a complex and time-consuming task for railway undertakings due to the non-existent aftersales market. Consequently, the lack of spare parts and long standing time of the vehicles lead to expensive downtimes, which are associated with a significant economic loss for the company. To counteract this problem, in 2022 NRail has developed a virtual spare parts warehouse that supplies the RUs with urgently needed spare parts more quickly. Here, the inventories of the connected workshops, wholesalers and manufacturers are recorded, digitized and shared with the rail sector on one platform.

The NRail Parts platform offers its users a wide range of products and services for the rail industry. The portfolio includes components, spare parts, consumables, workshop equipment, services and a vehicle exchange for rail vehicles.

NRail’s interdisciplinary team continuously combines its expertise in the rail sector with IT skills to develop innovative solutions that further drive digitalization in the rail industry.

The central concern of NRail is the sustainable use of used rail vehicles through the application of innovative technologies. We realize this goal through strategic cooperations and partnerships, providing a comprehensive range of products and services in the field of maintenance and vehicle management as well as in the brokerage of locomotives, wagons and spare parts.
