CSRE Limited
CSRE Limited was created to act as the "bridge" between the UK customer and
Chinese manufacturers for rolling stock and related equipment.
CSRE has developed a range of rolling stock products that are appropriate for the UK market and introduced these to its Chinese manufacturing partners.
CSRE is working with its partners and the European equipment and specialist engineering supply chain to progressively introduce its product range to the UK market, beginning in 2012/13 with Pulsar DMUs. Based on a maodular philosophy, a number of common parts and sub-assemblies are shared by different products within the range, reducing the size of the spare parts inventory for the customer and improving value for money by providing economy of scale in the supply chain.
CSRE was established in early 2007 by its current Managing Director, David Shipley, who has been working with the Chinese rolling stock industry in various capacities since mid 2003.
