HaslerRail

What HaslerRail does

HaslerRail AG is a Swiss-headquartered supplier of safety-critical on-board electronics, sensors, software, and data management solutions for the global railway industry, founded in 1887 in Bern and operating today as part of the privately held S\u00e9cheron Hasler Group (1,300+ employees worldwide). Its product portfolio spans the TELOC family of event recorders and juridical recording units (JRU), contact-free speed sensors (CORRail 2000 using Spatial Filtering Velocimetry, DOPRail 1000 Doppler radar, HE 2000 Hall Effect), HMIs and digital speed indicators (PIXY 1000, SPIN 1000, SPEEDO, moving coil), EN 50463:2017-compliant AC/DC energy meters (REM 102, DMeter, outdoor sensors), traction protection relays and remote I/O (RTP100, RaPLC-RIO), and train backbone communication gateways (IGW1000). Adjacent safety functions are delivered through the SIL4-capable SABOx safety board.

The company monetizes through three revenue streams: (1) hardware sales of on-board electronics to rail car builders, OEMs, and system integrators; (2) subscription-based cloud software including EVA+ Cloud (data analytics), EVA+ Energy (DCS for energy billing), MyDrive (driver mobile app), and Driver Advisory System (DAS); and (3) after-sales professional services covering spare parts, repairs and calibrations, modernization and retrofits, technical support, and training. Pricing is quotation-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting an enterprise sales motion executed through 13+ owned subsidiaries and 20+ independent distributors across 35+ countries in Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa, and Oceania.

HaslerRail's competitive position is built on regulatory certifications (SIL4, EN 50463:2017, EN 50155, EN 61375, UIC 556, ISO 22163:2023, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, EcoVadis Silver 2023), 140+ years of Swiss rail heritage, and a deep installed base (50,000+ PIXY HMIs, tens of thousands of TELOC recorders globally). Customer segments include rail operators and railway undertakings, rail car builders and OEMs, infrastructure managers, signaling and train control integrators, and metro and light rail operators. The company has pursued steady geographic and product expansion through new subsidiaries (Canada 2025, Singapore 2023, Japan 2021, Spain 2020) and platform additions (EVA+ Cloud launched 2022), supplemented by the 2018 acquisition of Pixy AG.
