 Modern transportation must address diverse requirements. Highways, air, and sea offer solutions for governments and populations, but only rail can provide sustainable combinations, including energy efficiency for mass suburban commuting, freight transport, and high-speed links for intercity corridors. Rail provides a green answer to economic, energy and environmental challenges.
This accounts for recent record expansion of global rail networks and extraordinary technological advances. The intermodal and mobility needs of both developed and emerging economies have meant a surge in rolling stock orders, including high-speed trains, electrical multiple units (EMUs), locomotives and metros. Growth is likely to average 2 to 2.5% annually, and total market volume is expected to reach well over 100 billion Euros by 2016.
Europe, NAFTA, and the Asia/Pacific region are the key markets today. However, with countries like China and India investing heavily in railway systems, Asia/Pacific is already moving into second place. Meanwhile, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa are rapidly becoming major accessible markets for the industry.
Major OEMs and railway equipment suppliers who make systems, subsystems and components for rolling stock, are playing a critical role in the Rail Revolution worldwide. They want to meet the growing needs and expectations of railroad and transit authorities in terms of quality, safety and reliability. They are also interested in refining supply and delivery logistics and creating new customer-driven services. Passenger and freight transport are increasingly global and need a wide range of cable products which are both readily available and fully compliant with leading national and world standards.
What you expect from a cable producer:
- Comprehensive range of high-quality rolling stock cables
- Common products that meet railroad standards worldwide
- Integrated systems and harnesses to simplify installation
- Advanced fire safety for tunnels, stations and platforms
- Longer lifetime for cost savings and lower maintenance
- Broadband to enhance operations and passenger comfort
- Increased energy-efficiency, compactness and lightness
