Who we are

At Transurb, we combine technology, expertise, and team spirit to design smart, scalable solutions tailored to the realities of the railway sector.
Structured around two complementary entities — Transurb Simulation and Transurb Technirail — we provide railway operators, infrastructure managers, training centers, and technical stakeholders with digital tools and engineering services adapted to their realities. Whether we’re building immersive simulators or advising on complex signaling projects, our goal remains the same: to help rail systems evolve safely, efficiently, and meaningfully.

Our headquarters are based inside the main SNCB maintenance site in Namur, keeping us close to the field. We are also backed by John Cockerill, a historical industrial actor, and STIB, Brussels’ public transport company — two pillars that support our innovation capacity and long-term impact.
But beyond the tech and the clients, we’re a team of passionate people who take their work seriously, without taking themselves too seriously. In our flat and collaborative structure, everyone contributes, takes ownership, and pushes forward with energy, humour, and a shared goal.

Shaping Smarter, Safer Railways

Our two Business Units

One goal, two complementary approaches.

Transurb Simulation designs and delivers a comprehensive range of rail simulators to enrich the training experience of train, tram, and metro drivers. Our approach is grounded in scalability, adaptability, and pedagogical effectiveness, ensuring solutions that match the operational needs and training goals of each client.
Transurb Technirail provides services and expertise to railway companies, infrastructure managers, and public authorities across the entire project lifecycle. From early design studies to on-site commissioning, we support clients in enhancing their operational performance through signaling, systems engineering, and technical consulting.
