The German freight trains of DB Cargo are running nearly climate-neutral now even if powered by a diesel locomotive. They are fueled by HVO generated from waste material instead of fossil diesel.
How does digitalization and robotics change the maintenance of trains at Deutsche Bahn? See the interesting post of Dr. Daniela Gerd tom Markotten: 🌐 LinkedIn
Sustainable solutions like this will be necessary especially for countries with a currently high amount of fossil energy sources. Good to see this development into the right direction! PKP Power Engineering issues tender for hydrogen-based energy storage components – International Railway Journal
Railway safety is a critical aspect of transportation that ensures the protection of passengers, staff, and infrastructure. Adhering to established safety norms is essential for minimizing risks and enhancing the reliability of railway systems. This blog post will explore key European railway safety standards EN 50126, EN 50128, and EN 50129. Safety measures are essential…
I’m sharing this post due to the high temperatures we’re facing these days in Germany. The impressive footage shows the effects of heat to rails and what this means for operation. Railway operators are already experimenting with painting rails with white color to reduce the heat impact. I think this issue gets more and more…
I fully agree with this statement. If we want railways to be an attractive alternative to other methods of transport, the passenger experience is absolutely central. If we can’t convince passengers by offering better comfort, better service, we will not win the challenge. Or very simple: We need to offer a real advantage for the…
