“Solutions to meet the demands of this highly regulated and standardized environment have the potential to significantly improve the efficiency and sustainability of regional rail transport,” Siemens said.
Germany also considers that it is necessary to make passenger rail offers more attractive in order to be able to achieve its environmental objectives, namely a reduction of 40 to 42% of its CO2 emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. ,
