2. Clear track for safety and conformity - why we do what we do
Rail transportation, with its modern rolling stock and complex infrastructure, is bound by many national and international rules and regulations. In particular, the 4th Railway Package introduced by the European Union in 2016 creates very specific framework conditions to make rail transportation even safer, more attractive, more efficient, more cost-effective, and therefore more future-proof and competitive. The so-called “technical pillar” of the 4th Railway Package includes directives on safety of railways and interoperability as well as numerous specifications and regulations in the areas of interoperability and safety.
