System Technology (Wayside)

Sustainable mobility also involves shifting traffic to rail, as rail is considered one of the safest and at the same time most environmentally friendly means of transport.

The key to a sustainable mobility revolution in rail operations is the interaction between digitalization, innovative signaling technology, and the optimal use of alternative drive systems. In context, availability without interruptions, maintenance-friendly designs, and predictive maintenance processes add up to a total package for the future mobility of the rail network.

We are using technological innovations to meet the 2050 climate goals
