Rail leaders to meet in Wisła

Siemens Mobility has handed over the first D9 electric freight locomotives to Indian Railways under its €3 billion contract for 1,200 units.

Bednárik states that rail freight’s share of total freight transport in the EU has fallen to around 16%, moving the bloc further away from its modal shift objectives.

European rail associations are calling for stronger EU coordination of ERTMS deployment, warning that fragmentation and slow rollout continue to hold the system back.
