Driving Growth in the Railway Industry: Expanding Horizons and Diversifying into New Sectors   The railway industry has long been a backbone of global transportation, enabling efficient movement in all ways. Today, this industry is not only seeing rapid technological advancements but also expanding its reach beyond traditional boundaries.   At InnoTrans Berlin 2024 - the leading international event for transport technology! I had the opportunity to experience the future of railway mobility while exchanging ideas on how the railway sector is driving global growth and how SG Automotive d.o.o. can also diversify into this industry and forge additional partnerships across borders.   The railway industry's journey of growth and diversification are pioneering the shift towards greener transportation technology, with electric and hydrogen-powered trains reducing carbon footprints, providing a compelling example for how traditional sectors can embrace innovation. At SGA we are committed to contributing to global sustainability and technological progress while exploring diverse opportunities for growth and collaboration. #RailwayIndustry #Innovation #SustainableGrowth #DiverseOpportunities #SGA

🚅 We need high-speed rail in the U.S.! Imagine going from NYC to nearby cities in just a few hours. My experience going on the Deutsche Bahn high-speed trains built by Siemens Mobility from Berlin to Düsseldorf was so comfortable and fast. I talked more with Anja Bröker (Head of Press Office at Deutsche Bahn) about their partnership with Siemens and how something similar could help many parts of the U.S. #sponsored

A few days ago, we introduced you to our project team. Today, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the delivery process. In a synchronized convoy, the next five hybrid rail vehicles are being handed over to Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH (MVG) and delivered directly via rail. With this achievement, our project team marks yet another milestone in innovation and collaboration. Wishing Stadtwerke München GmbH great success and productive use of the RORUNNER!

🚄 News from Bayern's Railway Authority (BEG)! BEG has launched the selection process for a company to operate Allgäu regional passenger services with a groundbreaking fleet of emission-free tilting trains. These innovative trains will utilize electric, hydrogen, and battery power, marking a significant step towards sustainable transportation. 🔄 Contract Details: Current Operator: DB Regio using Bombardier diesel units. New Contract Duration: December 2029 - December 2041. Phases: Phase 1: Introduction of new trains. Phase 2: Route reshuffling for optimized travel times. 🌟 Key Highlights: Reliability Focus: Full adoption of new technology only after successful daily operation testing. Minister's Statement: Christian Bernreiter calls this tender one of the most exciting and challenging since Bayern took over local passenger rail transport nearly 30 years ago. Innovation: These trains will usher in the "tilting technology era 2.0," making Bayern a trendsetter in railway innovation. 🚆 Additional Updates: The contract includes tilting trainsets for Expressverkehr Nordostbayern services starting December 2032. BEG has awarded Transdev’s Bayerische Oberlandbahn the Oberland 2027+ contract to continue operating regional diesel services from Munich, with options for early termination if electrification proceeds. This is a monumental step towards modernizing and greening our regional rail services. Stay tuned for more updates! 🌍✨ #RailwayInnovation #SustainableTransport #BEG #Allgäu #TiltingTrains #FutureOfTransport

Last year, we joined forces with London North Eastern Railway, Northern and Southeastern Railway for Future Labs, a rail innovation programme that helped accelerate ideas that address issues within our sector. Hear from some of our collaborators from the 9 start-up companies here:

Impressive figures on Austrian's rail industry were investigated by VCÖ - Mobilität mit Zukunft: 👍 7.9% of total global trade in the railway industry is ‘Made in Austria’ 💪 Austria ranks 4th in the global export of rail vehicles 👏 The Austrian railway industry creates 28,000 jobs and 2.7 billion in added value An overview of the Austrian railway industry is provided in a detailed article in the current magazine. Martin Joch and Anil W. Rai, among others, were asked about the reasons for this. #railindustry #bahnindustrie #weltmarktführer #marketleader #eisenbahn #schienengüterverkehr #bahntransport #bahn #österreich

🚀 Join us for ULI Poland's Places + Spaces: #Infrastructure as a Growth Engine. 📍 Focus: #CommunicationHubs and Economic Growth. In today’s global economy, communication hubs – such as airports, seaports, and rail stations 🚄✈️ – are critical #drivers of economic and urban transformation. These hubs go beyond their traditional role as transit points to become dynamic centers for business, innovation, and community growth. The aerotropolis concept, for instance, highlights how cities designed around major airports can create robust, interconnected ecosystems that fuel local and regional development. 💡 We’re excited to announce that Dr. Filip Czernicki, CEO of Centralny Port Komunikacyjny (CPK), will be joining us as a speaker and will present on the transformative role of infrastructure, with a special focus on Poland’s largest and most ambitious transportation project, Centralny Port Komunikacyjny. His talk, titled ▶️#CPK Today◀️, will explore: 1️⃣ CPK’s Vision: The creation of a large, multimodal transportation hub that will integrate air, rail, and road networks, making Poland a vital link in European and global connectivity. 2️⃣ Key CPK Investments: An overview of the strategic projects and partnerships shaping the CPK Programme. 3️⃣ Progress on CPK Airport: Updates on the fourth stage of development, designed to handle future demand with cutting-edge facilities. 4️⃣ Infrastructure for Tomorrow: CPK’s capacity and scalability in response to traffic forecasts, ensuring long-term functionality. 5️⃣ High-Speed Rail (HSR) “Y” Line: The prioritization of this route to connect Poland’s key cities, shortening travel times and strengthening regional economies. 6️⃣ Investment Timeline: The roadmap for CPK’s major milestones and completion targets. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights from industry leaders like Piotr Czarnecki on the future of infrastructure! 📅 When: December 2, 2024 🕠 Time: 5:30 PM - 9:00 PM GMT+1 👉 👉 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/dZV7Pj-h #ULIPoland #PlacesSpaces #EconomicGrowth

In Sweden, a permanent electrified road is being built, the first in the world for electric vehicles (EVs) to be charged while traveling. The highway chosen for this pioneering project is the European route E20, which connects the logistics centers between Hallsberg and Örebro. This road is located between the three main cities of the country, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. The project is currently in the procurement phase and is scheduled to be built by 2025. The charging method for E20 has not yet been decided, but there are three types of charging under consideration: a catenary system, a conductor (ground-based) system, and an inductive system. This initiative is part of Sweden's efforts to decarbonize the transport sector and prepare the necessary infrastructure for fossil fuel-free mobility. It's an important step towards sustainable transport, allowing cars and trucks to recharge on the go, which experts say allows them to travel longer distances with smaller batteries and avoid waiting at charging stations. @DFL
