A connected railway can monitor faults, share information and coordinate complex operations in real time. Those capabilities are valuable. But imagine the moment when the network goes silent. Which systems can passengers still rely on to get out? Modern trains use digital communications, signalling, diagnostics and passenger information systems to support

When comparing air compressor technologies, the debate between rotary vane and rotary screw has long been dominated by market familiarity rather than engineering merit. A closer technical look, however, reveals a consistent story: rotary vane compressors are fundamentally superior in long-term efficiency, reliability and suitability for demanding environments like rail

Lead arranger role in export credit totalling CHF 254 million for Saudi Railway Company Financing supports European railway industry exporting modern trains KfW IPEX-Bank is acting as Initial Mandated Lead Arranger and Bookrunner for an Export Credit Facility for Saudi Railway Company with a total transaction volume of CHF 254 million.

Blagnac, October 21, 2026 – SOGECLAIR Training & Simulation has been selected by DSB (Danske Statsbaner), Denmark’s national railway operator, to deliver train driving simulators supporting the modernization of S-train driver education for Copenhagen’s current S-train network in an ambitious and critical period for DSB and its long-term automation roadmap

Designing rail interiors has always required a balance of safety, performance and passenger experience. That balance is becoming more nuanced. Designers are being asked to create environments that feel considered and cohesive, while engineering teams must continue to meet the demands of high-traffic, regulated spaces. As a result, material selection is

Why griwephon® AN2-900 light Is More Relevant Than Ever The requirements for modern railway vehicles continue to increase. Manufacturers and operators alike face the challenge of reducing energy consumption and operating costs, achieving sustainability targets, and at the same time further improving passenger comfort. Product container: griwephon® AN2-900 light As a result,

In the global railway industry, time is the ultimate currency. As passenger networks compress headways and heavy freight corridors push for maximum track density, the traditional maintenance window has fundamentally changed. What used to be a predictable, multi-hour block has shrunk into tight, high-pressure intervals. For railway maintenance managers, this reality

Businesses, government and households need to raise EUR 290 billion each year for the climate transformation by 2045 Investment in climate action also has economic benefits and provides opportunities for the German economy in climate technologies KfW CEO Stefan Wintels: “Ambitious but manageable challenge” KfW continues to be a driving force in climate

Rail operators are under increasing pressure to improve financial performance, attract more passengers and make better use of existing capacity. Yet one of the most commercially important decisions they make – what to charge passengers for a journey – is still too often treated as a technical function rather than

Background Historically, intrusive railway engineering works have been carried out within a traditional T3 possession, using possession limit boards (PLB) and detonators for protection. This method requires track workers to place PLB’s and detonators at the extremities of the possession limits. This imposes a risk to track workers, exposing them to unnecessary

West Midlands based SME MoniRail, and its partners, have secured significant funding to further aid development and commercialisation of its quantum navigation system for use on London Underground, with the ability to locate train and track faults precisely, where satellite signals can’t reach. Digital illustration of a high-speed train on a

The new Han® 4 HPR combines railway-proven robustness with up to 70 A current-carrying capacity, while cutting installation space and weight significantly. Size 4 is being introduced into HARTING’s major industrial connector ranges: Han® HPR, Han® B and Han-Eco®. With a current-carrying capacity of up to 70 A, these intermediate-size connectors

Heavy contamination, high operating temperatures and short bath life are costing rail maintenance workshops more than they realise. DST-CHEMICALS has been solving exactly this problem for nearly 40 years. Here is what it looks like in practice. The Real Cost of Cleaning a Bogie Ask a workshop manager what their cleaning chemistry

The rail industry is moving faster than ever, and efficiency is no longer just a goal; it is a mandate. To meet the demands of tomorrow, operators and manufacturers must look beyond traditional building blocks. It is time to step up your rail game with Diab’s cutting-edge lightweight solutions.

September took me from our annual business development meeting in Atlanta to InnoTrans in Berlin and then to the All Wheels Up Global Forum in Colorado Springs. Although those trips focused on different aspects of the transportation industry, one idea connected them all – meaningful innovation begins by considering the

Experience EAO’s World of HMIs at InnoTrans 2026. Where people travel every day, safety, comfort and efficiency are key. That’s where EAO’s HMI solutions for railway come into play: Whether for passenger access systems, driver’s cabs, toilet facilities or for enhanced passenger convenience – each HMI solution from EAO is developed

Four days at the trade fair, numerous conversations and a world premiere that attracted considerable attention: At InnoTrans 2026, we unveiled our InnoCom® ELA to Auracast™ Gateway for the first time. The response demonstrated just how relevant this technology is to the rail industry. cn-mobility InnoCom® ELA to Auracast™ Gateway with

Laying cable troughing along a railway route can be a complex project, especially where trackside access is compromised by obstacles or topographical difficulties. That’s where the lightweight yet sturdy ARCOSYSTEM® comes in. The composite construction of the elevated ARCOSYSTEM® troughing allows for flexible on-site handling, meaning tight trackside spaces are accessed
