Rolling Stock cover image - Drivers

Overall, the key drivers for new developments are population and urbanization, digitalization and innovation, sustainability and economic developments in specific geographies. These changes are affecting infrastructure and rolling stock in a variety of ways.

Rail provides an answer to sustainable mobility and the land movement of people and goods. It ensures energy-efficient mass urban/suburban commuting in “smart cities,” regular and high-speed travel between cities, and economical freight transport across continents.

Population size, urbanization, congestion and economic development have stimulated rolling stock orders, including high-speed trains, electrical multiple units (EMUs), locomotives, trams and metros. According to Unife, the market for rolling stock amounted to approximately 54 bn EUR per annum in the past two years. APAC accounted for the largest part of the total market with some 44 % market share followed by Western Europe (19%) and NAFTA (15%).
