Moving people and things around the world creates a lot of pollution. In fact, it's responsible for more than a third of all energy-related carbon dioxide emissions[1]. That's why we need to find better ways to move. Norway, famous for its beautiful fjords and its dedication to protecting the environment, is taking a big step forward. They're upgrading their entire railway network, from the tracks to the trains themselves. This isn't just about making it easier to get from place to place. It's about using trains to cut down on pollution.
Tackling transport emissions requires a multi-faceted approach. The potential of modernised railway networks to move large volumes of people and goods with low environmental impact is immense. Norway’s transformative project includes modernising over 4,200 kilometres of track and equipping more than 400 trains with cutting-edge train control technology. This project success relies on collaboration among various stakeholders, including providers of trackside signalling, train management, and Alstom, playing a key role in integrating the intelligence onboard the trains that weave the rail network together.
