In the coming decades, the rail mode is being asked to play a bigger role in a sustainable transport mix. Driven by environmental concerns and rising energy costs, public and politicians are turning to rail to solve the mobility challenge. But for the rail sector to play its part, it must invest in environmentally and commercially sustainable technology.
What are rail’s key roles in society, and what is needed to enhance the mode’s ability to deliver? Sustainability is not just about minimising environmental impact, but about continuing to improve and make best use of rail technology. What is the right business model to provide a realistic return on investment and underpin development over the longer term?
