Global Markets for Electric Trains

While rail contributes the least to freight transport emissions, use of diesel cannot continue forever in any market. This issue is exacerbated by the long life of trains, which can go beyond 30 years, meaning if solutions are not looked at today diesel trains will still be in operation well past 2050. In this premium article, IDTechEx explores the opportunities emerging for battery electric and fuel cell trains, including multiple unit, locomotive and shunter trains.
