DB Cargo is using HVO
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.

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…
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
Ready to rock InnoTrans 2022 day 1!
Patric Birr and I published an article in SIGNAL+DRAHT, the leading international medium for control and safety technology plus communication and information technology in the railway sector. In the article we propose automating Security Risk Assessments by using digital twins. These allow attack trees to be derived automatically enabling a systematic analysis of potential attack…
Hydrogen has the advantage of being a chemical form of storing energy. This can help in the railway sector to bridge gaps between parts of the track where electric power is available and parts which are not electrified yet. Battery power is not the one-fits-all solution, especially for heavy freight trains or also in other…
