Future development is supported by macroeconomic mega trends:
- The targeted phasing out of fossil fuels will lead to an increase in the degree of electrification in European rail networks.
- In order to enable the energy transition and to achieve the CO2 goals, the transmission line grids will be expanded.
RAILWAY SECTOR
Mainline transport
- increase of frequency and shorter travel times (‘Rail instead of road or plane’)
- more efficient and eco-friendly railway operations (‘Electricity instead of diesel’)
Local Mass Transit (subway and tram)
- increasing mobility needs in urban areas
- ecological alternatives to cars and buses
ENERGY SECTOR
- expansion of transmission line networks due to increasing energy demands
- new interconnections due to the increasing importance of renewable energy
- adjustments to the network infrastructure as a result of changed power generation concepts (phasing out nuclear power)
