About us

EKORAIL was founded in 2023 by Moritz Waltenberger. As German Engineer, he moved to Oslo in 2021.

Our goal with EKORAIL AS is not rapid growth, but delivering exceptional, high-quality solutions.

About the founder: As electrical engineer with 15+ years professional experience in maintenance of rolling stock, homologation, digitalization, project management and leadership, Moritz is familiar with most of the challenges you face as owner or keeper or ECM of rolling stock.

He graduated from the Technical University in Munich with a Masters degree (both M. Sc. and Dipl.-Ing.), worked as Head of Workshops Electrics/Electronics for the Metro Munich and as Head of Technical Service for Railpool.
