"Expansion of electrification in rail transport and local public transport - transport policy decisions with expertise"

Keynote speeches

"Expansion of electrification in rail transport and local public transport"

Consistent electrification can ensure greater sustainability, punctuality and availability in rail transport. The overhead contact line does not have to be a "stumbling block" in the cityscape, because system failures are expensive due to gaps in the overhead contact line. In addition to the specialist approach of speaker Felix Dschung in his keynote speech and the ETG's evaluation tool, which supports local authorities, transport companies and politicians in evaluating concrete plans, we hear from Oliver Benz, CEO of Freiburger Verkehrs AG, about developments in and for Freiburg.
