Innovation, integration and sustainability: Hitachi Rail and the Comune di Firenze are working to drive a sustainable mobility transition.   The city of Florence is preparing to experience a renewal and strengthening of its tramway network that will allow passengers to enjoy more punctual, comfortable and safer public transport,   This important goal was made possible thanks to the collaboration between Hitachi Rail and the City of Florence, which since 2010 have been working together to ensure efficient urban transport.   This new project involves the design, supply and commissioning by Hitachi Rail of 46 new battery-powered trams in sections without catenary and the digital signalling to operate them for the city of Florence. In parallel, a contract of about 17 million euros has been signed between GEST SPA and Hitachi Rail to deliver maintenance for its 46 Sirio trams currently running on the Florence city network.   The overall project will make urban transport in Florence even more extensive and sustainable, thanks to innovative battery technology, and will expand the fleet with vehicles with transport capacity, better comfort levels and energy efficiency that determine the highest standards in the industry. In addition, a state-of-the-art digital signalling system and maintenance service will be guaranteed to ensure that vehicles currently in circulation continue to be perfectly efficient.    Find out more about the entire plan of modernisation of the Florence tram system ▶ https://bit.ly/3YrF2yS

#Italy will try to have a few freight trains running again through the #FrejusRailway, the main border crossing to #France, before its full reopening. The line has been completely closed since August 2023 due to a massive landslide in Saint-André à La Praz, roughly 20 kilometres from the #French border with #Italy. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews

On the occasion of #InnoTrans2024, MERMEC organized a conference this week on the theme "How Safety Enhances Railway Transport." During this event, Angelo Petrosillo, GM of International Business at Mermec, opened the conference. François DAVENNE, Director General of UIC, then had the opportunity to say a few words on the subject.   Key points from his speech include:   👉 Safety is Non-Negotiable: The foundation of any rail service is the highest possible level of safety.   👉 Diverse Approaches: Among UIC members, safety is a major concern. However, each organization has developed its system based on national rules and standards that may not be harmonized. For instance, the GCC network's freight systems in the US differ significantly from European passenger services.   👉 Challenges in Incident Analysis: Even at the European level, a unified analysis of incidents can be challenging due to differing systems, such as various signaling technologies.   👉 UIC’s Unique Position: UIC is the only international forum dedicated to addressing these pressing safety concerns. Its approach is consistent with the principles of the Safety Directive and safety management systems, allowing UIC to: -Conduct peer reviews among members -Establish multilateral contracts, like the GCU, to ensure safe circulation 👉 Future Innovations: Looking ahead, initiatives like the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) and tools such as the Rail System Model will help bridge different systems, enhancing global safety while driving down costs.

European Parliament updates trans-European transport network guidelines! Today, on Wednesday 24.April, MEPs endorsed updated plans to complete major trans-European transport projects, such as cross-border roads, railways, bridges and tunnels, by the end of 2030. To eliminate bottlenecks and missing transport links, MEPs backed an update of the EU’s plan to build a network of railways, roads, inland waterways and short sea shipping routes connected through ports and terminals across the EU. Current trans-European transport (TEN-T) projects include many European links, such as, RB Rail AS | Rail Baltica connecting Helsinki and Warsaw, the Brenner Base Tunnel, linking Austria and Italy, and the Lisbon–Madrid high-speed rail line. Major transport infrastructure projects on the core TEN-T network should be completed by the end of 2030, to secure a comprehensive network by the end of 2050. To accelerate project rollout across the network, an intermediary deadline of 2040 is introduced. This development is a crucial step towards further integration and safety enhancement within Europe’s regions, opening doors for broader dialogue, collaboration, and innovation. Official press release: https://lnkd.in/eRkjzcyK Find the full list of projects with the following link: https://lnkd.in/eE95B5m6 #TEN-T #EuropeanParliament #EnablingFutureMobility ___ 👍 Like if you find value, re-post ♻️, and follow for more inspiration, interesting rail, and innovation insights.

Are you sure you're inspecting every inch of your railway axles? In railway axles, there are critical points that can easily be missed using traditional inspection methods—especially the bearing press holes, which create blind spots that aren’t detected with standard ultrasonic technology. The result? Potentially dangerous defects that could compromise both safety and operational efficiency. In IMG, we’ve revolutionized axle inspections with our cutting-edge Axle Safe system. By using Phased Array probes, we can now provide complete coverage of railway axles, even under the press holes. Our technology ensures no defect goes unnoticed. In this video, you’ll see how our system works: we’ve divided the scan into 3 zones, using 3 angles and 2 different directions, mapping the axle with unparalleled precision. 👉 Watch the video to discover how Axle Safe is transforming non-destructive testing in the railway industry and learn more about our state-of-the-art technology. Optimize your safety with Axle Safe and IMG's non-destructive testing solutions. #IMGUltrasuoni #AxleSafe #NDT #railwayaxles #phasedarray #railwaysafety #technology

🌍 **Towards Greater Transparency: The New French Regulations on Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Transport Sector** 🚛 In recent years, increasing environmental awareness has prompted various nations to adopt concrete measures to reconcile development and sustainability. In this context, France has introduced regulations that require transport service providers to report the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by their operations. 💨 This initiative, active since 2013, applies to all operators, both national and international, ensuring transparency and accountability. By monitoring emissions, consumers can make more informed decisions regarding their transport choices, actively contributing to the fight against climate change. But it doesn’t end there! Starting in 2025, there will be penalties for those who do not comply with these obligations. This measure is not only punitive but also encourages operators to improve their practices by investing in clean technologies and eco-friendly strategies. 🏭💚 This is a crucial moment for the transport sector: companies that demonstrate a commitment to sustainable practices will gain a competitive edge, attracting customers who are increasingly conscious of environmental issues. 🔑 Compliance with these regulations is not just a legal obligation but also a strategic opportunity to enhance corporate image. By adopting eco-friendly practices, businesses can become models of sustainability in a constantly evolving market. We invite everyone to reflect on the importance of our active participation in creating a greener future. For more information on the regulations and sustainable practices, visit the reference website! 🌱✨

Amid challenging conditions, DEUTZ remains profitable. Despite slump in demand, the company achieved an EBIT before exceptional items of €57.3 million and an adjusted EBIT margin of 4.4%. New orders were close to the previous year's level. This was primarily due to the successful development of the portfolio – with the acquisitions completed in the third quarter, DEUTZ is positioning itself more broadly: ➡️ Acquisition of the US manufacturer of power generators Blue Star Power Systems ➡️ Takeover of the off-highway business for selected Daimler Truck engines from Rolls-Royce Power Systems Their full effect on earnings will start in the fourth quarter. DEUTZ can feel the effects of the ongoing fall in demand caused by the economic headwinds. To strengthen its profitability in a persistently difficult economic environment, DEUTZ launched a cost program. The program aims to permanently lower costs by €50 million by the end of 2026 and supplements the short-term measures already introduced, which are expected to generate savings of between €10 million and €15 million as early as the fourth quarter.
