Fleet visibility
Aside from manufacturing , Greenbrier also offers several services , including railcar
maintenance and management solutions . The company maintains one of the largest refurbishment service networks in North America , offering expert maintenance services , cushioning units , wheels , truck components , and aftermarket support across its network of strategically located full-service repair centers .
With more than 400,000 railcars in its management portfolio , the company ’ s management solutions help customers better manage freight costs and improve uptime . It also offers custom services to meet specific requirements like technical services or logistics support .
Greenbrier is also a partner in a consortium of rail-related businesses that are pursuing the development of a new rail telematics platform . RailPulse uses real-time data transmissions and algorithms to track the location , condition , and health of any North American railcar . This enables fleet managers greater visibility over not only the track-level location of the railcar , but also the status of the car in terms of the load , temperature , moisture , and any other onboard sensors , as well as the mechanical health of the car like its bearings , bolsters , and components .
Sustainable solutions
Considering sustainability , Greenbrier also offers a Sustainable Conversions service , providing an efficient and cost-saving option for railcar owners to diversify and optimize their fleets as they strive to hit sustainability goals . Through rebody and stretch programs , it can convert covered hopper fleets into other service uses , often using existing components to reduce the overall cost .
