    🚆 Advancing Circularity in the Rail Industry: A New Era of Sustainable Growth 🚆 At H&Z Management Consulting we are excited to share our latest white paper on circularity in the rail sector, with a special focus on rolling stock. As the administrative lead for the Railsponsible initiative for the third consecutive year, we have been committed to driving sustainability and transformation within the rail industry. The initiative unites key players across the rail value chain—including Alstom Deutsche Bahn Knorr-Bremse Siemens Mobility ÖBB and many more —to foster collaboration and share best practices for a more circular and resource-efficient future. 🚄🌍 What is Railsponsible? Railsponsible is an industry initiative dedicated to improving sustainability practices throughout the rail value chain. It brings together operators, manufacturers, suppliers, and industry associations to collectively advance the circular economy in rail. Under our administration, we have made significant progress, welcoming new members and continuing the journey towards a sustainable rail sector. Our latest study highlights the tangible benefits of embracing circular economy principles: • Extending the operational life of rolling stock by up to 15 years through predictive maintenance and efficient usage practices, reducing maintenance costs by up to 30%. • Demonstrating that modular design can cut production costs by up to 30%, making it easier to upgrade rolling stock and keep assets at their highest value. • Showing that extending the lifespan of assets in Europe by just five years could save 5-10 million tons of finished products, resulting in substantial economic and environmental gains. ♻️📉 A special thanks to Jeannot Schroeder and +ImpaKT his invaluable contributions to the study, and a big shoutout to my colleagues Rose S., Hannah Spaeth and Roman Bauer for their hard work in running Railsponsible. Together, we are pushing boundaries and making real strides towards a more sustainable rail industry. 🌱🚆 🔍 Dive deeper into the full study and discover actionable insights for embracing circularity in rail! Download the study below and share your thoughts—how can we further accelerate the shift to a sustainable rail industry? Let’s connect and collaborate to make a lasting impact together. Your feedback and ideas are crucial as we continue this journey towards a circular and resource-efficient future. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #RailIndustry #RollingStock #Innovation #ModularDesign #PredictiveMaintenance #CircularRail #Collaboration

    Walking around Innotrans the complexity of rail becomes apparent but also the effort that individuals, companies are putting in individually and together in Railsponsible to find solutions to these complex problems. Transparency, accountability, collaboration where possible these are the cornerstones of Railsponsible and to overcoming sustainability challenges in the sector and beyond...... nice bumping into @harmut sievers from Knorr-Bremse AG and Helmut Forchtner from Siemens Mobility

    🚆 Exciting Interview at InnoTrans 2024 with Richard Neussl 🚆 It was a pleasure for all Kontron Transportation booth visitors to join the talk with our MD Richard Neussl, interviewed by Roman Bauer on sustainability topics. In the interview they talked about the importance of the Railsponsible initiative for the Railways. In summary, a Railsponsible membership is not just about being part of a network; it’s about being part of a collaborative force that drives innovation, accelerates knowledge sharing, and implements best practices in sustainability. This collaboration empowers us to make a more significant impact, both within the railway industry and beyond. Furthermore they talked about sustainability activities that suppliers already can undertake to reduce carbon footprint. #kontrontransportation #InnoTrans2024 #Innovation #railwaydedicatednetworks #passionforrailways #FRMCS #WecreateFRMCS #railsponsible
