Hitachi Rail’s Post

Sustainability is becoming increasingly prevalent, and the role of train networks and their stations is an enormous opportunity for how we can help deliver green travel.   In the final video in our series with Network Rail, we look at the impact of sustainability on rail travel and the big questions on how to deal with some of these challenges. From looking at the role of the journey to and from a train station, the journey on a train, what is within Network Rail’s control to make a difference and how the industry can better collaborate. 📹 Watch the video below to learn the answers to some of these questions and more.

🌍🌿 Celebrating World Environment Day 🌿🌍 Today, on World Environment Day, we celebrate our collective efforts towards a sustainable future. This year, let's spotlight the transformative power of green rail transportation in shaping the future of mobility. Rail Industry Sector, especially High-speed rail (HSR) is at the forefront of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and cutting down on flight connections for middle-short distances up to 800 km. Here's why HSR is crucial in our fight against climate change: 🚄 Reducing Emissions: Electrified railways are are the greenest transportation. By shifting more passengers to rail, we are drastically reducing our carbon footprint. ✈️ Cutting Flight Connections: Middle-short distance flights (up to 1h flight duration or 800 km distance) are a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. HSR provides a fast, efficient, and eco-friendly alternative, reducing the need for such flights and easing airport congestion. And the impact goes beyond just rail. This transformation is powered by all very interconnected sectors, especially these 3: Green Energy: Powering our trains with sustainable energy. Construction: Building advanced, eco-friendly rail infrastructure. Digitalisation: Using smart technology to enhance efficiency and connectivity. These sectors together create a seamless, sustainable travel experience that benefits our planet. On this World Environment Day, let’s champion high-speed rail as the future of green mobility. By investing in this revolution, we're committing to a cleaner, healthier world.

Mobility all over Europe shall be as much as sustainable and environmental friendly as possible. Therefore, investments and allocations of funds are of paramount importance. Commissioner for Transport Adina Vălean said: ".... we are allocating €6.2 billion to projects across Europe that will take us closer to completing the Trans-European Network for Transport, TEN-T, the backbone of the EU's economy. I am particularly happy that €250 million will improve cross-border connections between Ukraine, Moldova, and their EU neighbours Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. These projects will make transporting goods between the EU and Ukraine easier, reinforcing the Solidarity Lanes."
