How to accelerate the implementation of rail transport?

AND IF OUR GOODS TOOK THE TRAIN?

In 2000, France had a 17% share of the rail freight market, compared to 10.7% in 2023. In 23 years, rail transport has undergone a sharp decline due to competition but also to the choice of shippers to move to the road.

Since 2020, the government, businesses and society in general have become aware of their carbon footprint and are striving to move towards decarbonized transportation.

With this in mind, a dynamic around rail transport has accelerated but many questions are holding back companies. In order to answer them, our Lab SC4Good andAUTF organized a morning session on February 8th. During this morning, several quality conferences allowed to know better :

Reminder of the train basics

The conditions for success in setting up rail flows

Pooling as a solution to increase the share of rail freight

How to move from a "manual" pooling approach to a more industrialized approach with the Appel d'Air program

The keys to success in combined transport

Innovations to accelerate rail transport: Digital Automatic Coupling, wagon tracking, rail performance measurement, ETA calculation
