#KnowYourShow | Today InnoTrans kicks off, the world’s largest and leading B2B show for the rail sector.   As KiwiRail navigates significant challenges and seeks a sustainable future, InnoTrans 2024 in Berlin presents a crucial opportunity for decision-makers in the rail sector.   This year’s panel discussions, including topics like “From Hype to Reality - AI in the Mobility Sector,” will provide insights into how global advancements can inform New Zealand’s rail strategy. With pressures on funding and operational viability, understanding international best practices is essential for shaping KiwiRail's future. 📅 Date: 24-27 September 2024 📍 Location: Berlin 🔗Register:  https://lnkd.in/gVp8xD9g   Which NZ companies are planning to join? Share your plans in the comments! The #GNZCC is the official representative office for InnnoTrans. Erin Daly #InnoTrans2024 #KiwiRail #RailInnovation #Sustainability #Mobility

Looks like this is not isolated to German 🇩🇪 railway systems: poor #reliability and #punctuality! It is an #absolute #pain. The solution to #accessible 🔑 and #sustainable 🌲 #mobility for the #global #population 🌎 is not the #personalized #automobile 🚗💨, but a #good and #efficient #railway #network 🚝🚆for all! #DigitalTwins #ModernPublicTransportPlease 🙌❤️🫶 “Service availability: in a recent survey, 52% [!] of French respondents reported that they did not consider train services #reliable or #punctual.”

Looking forward to meeting you all in #innotrans this year. LTTS will demonstrate its industry leading capabilities in the Rail sector further more underlining our commitment in leveraging #AI #digital technologies to further the #sustainability agenda in the #Rail #mobility sector. #LTTS #EngineeringTheChange

#Innotrans2024   Connections, exchanges, and collaboration were the defining themes of our second day at InnoTrans!   The morning kicked off with an insightful conference on CSR and the decarbonization of the railway industry, hosted by Jean de la Chapelle, Patrick Jeantet, Bertrand Gryspeert, and Nicolas GROULT.   Presentation key takeaways: 💡 CSR is a strategic imperative for the railway sector, driven by its three ESG pillars: Environment, Social, and Governance. These dimensions are critical to meeting evolving European regulations and the growing expectations of stakeholders. 💡 Collaboration and standardization of CSR frameworks are essential, especially to support small and medium-sized enterprises in adapting to these challenges. 💡 To succeed collectively, the industry must unite under the leadership of the FIF, positioning railway as the most sustainable mode of transportation.   In the afternoon, Pascal Lullier and Christophe Chassagnette showcased some of our major projects, illustrating our strength as a systems integrator, capable of managing every aspect of infrastructure—using the Manila Metro as an example of our expertise.   We wrapped up the day with a client event, where our collaborators and clients mingled over a lively cocktail party, celebrating the successes of the day. 🎉   #ColasRail #Berlin #Fair #Railway #OnTrackForASustainableFuture #CSR

The road to InnoTrans 2024… part 2. Remember, it is a marathon, not a sprint 😉 ⏪ InnoTrans 2014 ⭐ Growing orders. A Desiro City train was on display for the announcement of our Thameslink train order in the UK. At €1.8bn, it was Siemens’ largest ever order in the UK and we would go on to deliver 1,140 rail carriages, which offered 50% more capacity. It included two world-class depots offering long-term service and maintenance with predictive maintenance and digital monitoring. ⏪ InnoTrans 2016 ⭐ Mireo: THE regional and commuter platform! The success of our Desiro led to the development of its little brother the Mireo. We called it ‘Intelligence on Rails’ at the time, and if I could go back, I would add ‘sustainability, and flexibility.’ The modular approach has gone on to be hugely popular and available in various formats and alternative drives to match local needs. Other highlights from the event included the Velaro for Turkey, and the C2 Metro for Munich. 🤝 The year after InnoTrans 2016 we acquired Hacon, signaling our move into software to fuel our digitalization growth further. #TransformMobilityForEveryone #TeamSiemens #InnoTrans2024

Driving Growth in the Railway Industry: Expanding Horizons and Diversifying into New Sectors   The railway industry has long been a backbone of global transportation, enabling efficient movement in all ways. Today, this industry is not only seeing rapid technological advancements but also expanding its reach beyond traditional boundaries.   At InnoTrans Berlin 2024 - the leading international event for transport technology! I had the opportunity to experience the future of railway mobility while exchanging ideas on how the railway sector is driving global growth and how SG Automotive d.o.o. can also diversify into this industry and forge additional partnerships across borders.   The railway industry's journey of growth and diversification are pioneering the shift towards greener transportation technology, with electric and hydrogen-powered trains reducing carbon footprints, providing a compelling example for how traditional sectors can embrace innovation. At SGA we are committed to contributing to global sustainability and technological progress while exploring diverse opportunities for growth and collaboration. #RailwayIndustry #Innovation #SustainableGrowth #DiverseOpportunities #SGA

As INNOTRANS 2024 draws global attention to the latest rail innovations, Germany’s Deutsche Bahn (DB) and rail infrastructure face heightened criticism. Aging infrastructure, high prices, and slow project timelines have eroded the country’s global reputation as a leader in engineering. With global competitors like China setting new benchmarks for efficiency, speed, and affordability, Germany must act to restore its standing as the world’s preeminent hub of engineering excellence. I must admit that the presence of many Chinese companies at INNOTRANS did not fail to impress me. State of the art presentations and modern booths with multimedia at its best. Germany’s current rail challenges extend beyond delays and high prices; they strike at the core of the nation’s identity as a global leader in engineering and precision. To restore this legacy, Deutsche Bahn and the broader rail network must undergo rapid transformation, embracing innovation, sustainability, and speed at every level. On a personal note it is a shame and embarrassment when you have visitors from oversees and you are experiencing smelly trainstations, overpriced coffee shops and parkings, messy and dirty public areas....the list can go on. Who is in charge here to put the foot down? Or is it too late and we give up? #EngineeringExcellence #DeutscheBahnTransformation #RestoreGermanysReputation #RailModernization #InnoTrans2024 #CompetitiveRailways #GermanInnovation

The future of mobility lies in our ability to integrate digitalization, decarbonization, and social inclusivity into a seamless, resilient system." – Dr. Kaan Yıldızgöz At our recent CEO Roundtables at InnoTrans 2024, we had insightful discussions with leaders from Renfe, Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB), SBS Transit Ltd, and Modaxo, who shared their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the mobility industry. Paloma Baena Olabe from Renfe highlighted the critical role of technology: "As Europe’s second-largest high-speed rail network, Renfe is committed to using technology and innovation to not only enhance passenger experience but to drive decarbonization and build a greener future for transportation." Xavier Flores from Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) reminded us that, "The real challenge of digital and ecological transformation isn’t just the tech—it’s cultural. It’s not about learning new tools; it’s about unlearning old ways to adapt to the incredible challenges ahead." Jeffrey Sim of SBS Transit Ltd spoke about the importance of inclusivity: "Sustainability in public transport isn’t just about reducing emissions; it’s about creating inclusive systems that serve all members of society. At SBS Transit Ltd, we are proud to make public transport more accessible and community-driven." Laurent Eskenazi of Modaxo added, "We’re at a crossroads in mobility. It’s not just about implementing new technologies like AI—it’s about balancing governance and innovation to create lasting impact." These conversations underscored the importance of a holistic approach to mobility—one that balances technology, sustainability, and inclusion. Excited to be part of a future that is as innovative as it is people-focused. #InnoTrans2024 #MobilityInnovation #SustainableTransport #DigitalTransformation #Modaxo
