WHY RAIL IS OUR SOLUTION AND COLLABORATING IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT?
Despite our familiarity with EVs, future electric transportation isn't just cars and buses. The rail industry is transforming railways into a high-tech, first-choice option, set to replace aviation on middle and short routes.
The 19th-century invention of rail remains durable and is now crucial for electric mobility in the energy transition. Today, electric trains make up three-quarters of global passenger rail transport, up from 60 percent in 2000, making rail the most widely electrified transport mode.
Rail transport's enduring success is due to its energy efficiency. Handling 8 percent of global passengers and 7 percent of freight, it consumes only 2 percent of total transport energy.
Rail is the most energy-efficient and safest transport mode. As a result, new railways are being built and existing ones upgraded worldwide. Many EU states are becoming technological hubs for infrastructure and digital advancements, further enhancing railway safety and efficiency.
Modern high-speed railways use advanced technologies like ballastless tracks and advanced signaling systems to reduce maintenance downtime, lower reinvestment costs, and ensure efficient passenger and cargo flow. Early involvement and close collaboration are crucial for the success of high-speed rail (HSR) development in the EU.
These practices enhance project planning, improve risk management, and incorporate innovative solutions from the very early stages. Collaborations ensures various stakeholders such as investors, planners, designers, infrastructure, rolling stock, operations, maintenance and customer services to work together for comprehensive and sustainable outcomes.
