Have you heard about the Mobility Transition? It’s a movement that is needed to reduce carbon emissions produced by the transport industry. Rail is the green travel alternative to cars and planes. According to an EEA study, air travel is reported to be 20 times worse for emissions than rail. By offering more high-speed rail services, we give people more options for #sustainable travel. Our #digital technology connects urban centres and cities, which enables people to avoid using their cars. By alleviating congestion and enhancing connectivity, we’re helping to build cleaner, safer, and greener societies around the world. Read our blog to find out how we’re driving the Mobility Transition: https://bit.ly/3zyS8Qv

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.

Look inward and you’ll find the answers. 👁 Number two on our list of 8 mobility policy steps towards sustainable change is: Internal analysis. 📊 Without looking honestly and rigorously at your current internal mobility policy, it’s very difficult to identify the areas that need altering. Here are some of the questions you should be asking: ● Do you have insights into travel behaviour, methods of transport, costs and associated CO2 emissions? 🛬 ● What do you notice in the figures you have on record? 🧮 ● Are your annual statements for lease cars, public transport season tickets, mobility services and mileage claims too expensive? 💶 Our whitepaper digs deep into these issues and more.

Taking the scenic route with Via Rail today and I can't help but ponder: In an age where sustainability is key and technology is ever-evolving, why do we still rely on diesel-powered trains? The journey is breathtaking, but it sparks a conversation about our environmental commitments and the future of travel. While electric trains offer cleaner, more efficient alternatives, the transition faces challenges. Infrastructure costs, technological advancements, and the vastness of rail networks play significant roles. Yet, the question remains: How can we accelerate the shift towards greener, more sustainable rail travel? A discussion worth exploring as we move forward: Contributing to a more sustainable future, one journey at a time. #ViaRail #sustainabletravel #futureoftransportation #EcoFriendlyJourneys #futureoftransport #transportation #foodforthought #discussion

Growing green long-distance public transport usage is crucial for hitting carbon emission reduction targets and meeting global net zero requirements. Unsurprisingly, reduced costs and travel times are key in getting people to switch from cars or planes to trains as their default long-distance travel mode. And yet rail companies are failing customers on both these factors. #FutureOfMobility #NetZero #ClimateAction #Mobility #PublicTransport

🇩🇰🇸🇪🇳🇴 | Building slab track railways for future generations | High-Speed Rail | Future Mobility | Innovations | Circular economy | Sustainability | Growth and Development
🌍🌿 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.
