Accelerating fleet modernization
With rail at the centre of the energy transition and the roll-out of ETCS, we see Europe's ageing locomotive fleet as an opportunity. Innovations are rapidly entering the market that can significantly contribute to the transition towards lower-emission rail transport.NEXRAIL is committed to making these technologies accessible to European operators through new-build projects, the introduction of locomotives in new markets, fleet modernisation programmes and sale-and-leaseback solutions. We are also actively exploring alternative fuels, including HVO, hydrogen and e-diesel.
