W2. Decarbonization in the railway sector

– DATE & TIME

Wednesday 27
14.00 – 15.45
Room C

– SUMMARY

Railway electric traction is widely used across the globe; however, only 50% of railway lines are currently electrified. This highlights the need for more efficient and sustainable solutions. Even though rail transport is the greenest mode of transportation, we must continue improving the efficiency of the overall system while reducing its carbon footprint—not only in trains but also in electrical fixed installations such as substations, catenaries, stations, and buildings.Countries worldwide, not just in Europe, are working towards these goals. Regarding trains, different technologies such as battery multiple units, hydrogen trains, and hybrid trains each have their own areas of relevance. At the same time, renewable energy solutions like solar panels, photovoltaic plants, wind turbines, and other innovations are being implemented both within Europe and beyond.

This session aims to bring together representatives from railway companies, manufacturers, and academia to exchange experiences, share visions, and discuss ongoing research.

W2. Technological and Digital Transformation for Smart Mobility Development

– DATE & TIME

Thursday 28
16.00 – 17.40
Room B

– SUMMARY

Netcom will preside over a roundtable discussion titled “Technological and Digital Transformation for the Advancement of Smart Mobility”, featuring distinguished participants from leading companies in the transportation and mobility sectors. The session will explore: i) the electrification and greening of mobility, focusing on the transition from individual vehicles to a fully integrated intelligent infrastructure. This includes the widespread deployment of Fast Charging stations, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technologies, and an assessment of the feasibility of implementing inductive charging systems; ii) Mobility as a Service (MaaS), emphasizing data-driven solutions for Connected and Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS), while leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, Additive Manufacturing, and sustainable automotive design. Additionally, the discussion will examine the evolving concept of Smart and Digital Roads as key enablers of this transformation.
