“Shippers want to go for more rail. But they need us to be better. “ How to improve rail freight’s offer was the 🎯 center of discussions during our #UIP #KeepersSummit2024 on 30 May in Venice! Next to ensuring a level playing field among all modes and a better and connected infrastructure, the spotlight was on the needs and means of ushering in a new era of automated, digital and connected rail operations... and how #DAC can help with that. Check out our press release and our panelists’ presentations to learn about their thoughts and reflections! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZYc9S37 “DAC will not be a walk in the park. The obstacles are many. This is a systemic change we are talking about, with an impact on all aspects of rail freight: safety, infrastructure, procedures, manufacturing, maintenance, etc... but it is so worth it.” We extend a heartfelt thank you to our many participants but of course also to our many brilliant speakers and moderators: Andrea Tomaello, Edoardo Rixi, armando degirolamo, Gilles Peterhans, Renato Imbruglia, Mark Topal Gökceli, Sabrina De Filippis, pier luigi giovanni navone, Gianluca Tomei, Paolo Pagliero, Giorgio Travaini, Alessandro Panaro, Enrico Puija, Marco Campomenosi and Pasquale Russo, Gianpiero Strisciuglio, Fulvio Lino Di Blasio, Zeno D'Agostino and Donato Liguori. #FutureOfRailFreight #DareToInnovate #ChangeNow

In discussions about rail transport innovation, the focus is usually on enhancing speed, efficiency, and connectivity. However, there's a pivotal, though often overlooked, aspect worth considering: RailWeight technology. More than just weighing, this technology plays a key role in improving railway dynamics and safety. #RailTransportInnovation #RailWeightTech #RailwaySafety #RailwayDynamics #RailIndustryAdvancements #EfficientRailSystems #TransportTech #FutureOfRailways #RailSectorGrowth #InnovativeRailSolutions

”What’s the Future of Rail Freight in Europe?” We are proud that our CCO Emiel Knarren was invited to be part of the speaker panel at the College of Europe's EU Transport & Railway Affairs (ETCR) event. 🔝👏 During the special Freight Day, the topic was “The Future of Rail Freight in Europe". You missed Emiel’s presentation? Here the summary! 👉 the Future of Rail Freight is longer and heavier trains, so we need more powerful locomotives and more modern, suitable wagons. 👉 Rail is the future and the future of rail is hybrid, but for heavy haul rail freight transportation, battery-packages are the best option, not hydrogen. 👉 Digitalisation and sharing of data is required to improve competitiveness of rail freight 👉 To better compete with road transport, we need to improve production quality and efficiency (more integrated solutions and less interfaces to effect performance) 👉 Infrastructure should be massively improved and these activities should be better aligned (with international partners) 👉 ERTMS should be faster and further deployed in Europe, with taking into account the operational implications and investments already done by the market. What else would you add to the Future of Rail Freight? European Loc Pool "Passion for Traction" #Rail #Future #Innovation #Sustainability #Transportation

📣 Rail Freight Forward had the pleasure of participating in RailNetEurope (RNE) annual event, #TTRDay, where the future of rail #CapacityManagement took center stage. RFF CEO Capacity Sponsor, Frédéric Delorme of Rail Logistics Europe, provided insights into the potential of the #EuropeanCommission proposed #CapacityRegulation in reshaping the rail sector. 💡 Here's how #RFF envisions this regulation driving the #ModalShift to rail: #TTR: Embracing a market-oriented framework that supports railway undertakings to meet customer demands with flexibility. #DCM: Introducing digitized and automated capacity management for seamless European path ordering. #TCR: Coordinated planning of infrastructure projects to enhance cross-border movement of goods and passengers, promoting efficiency and connectivity. #KPI: Implementing sector-defined rules to monitor capacity processes, ensuring customer satisfaction and performance optimisation. 👉 Providing easier access to rail network and thus making driving a train across Europe as easy as driving a truck! 🚆 Interested in learning more about RFF's commitment to fostering the modal shift to rail?
