Europe’s Rail and SESAR 3 Joint  Undertakings have published a joint call for the development of an “Integrated  air and rail network backbone for a sustainable and energy-efficient multimodal  transport system”. The call targets solutions that will improve door‐to‐door mobility for Europe’s  citizens, and is expected to generate synergies between the air and rail  innovation communities. With a total investment of EUR 7 million, the call is  being co-funded within the framework of the EU’s Horizon Europe research and  innovation programme.

TMB busca  una solución innovadora para salvar el espacio entre el tren y el andén.

La empressa asociada de In-Move by railgrup ISC estará presente con CSIT en el UITP Congress de Barcelona del 5 al 7 de junio, con un stand donde se podrá ver su sistema de comunicaciones y de información al viajero, con una demo con datos reales, así como los kioscosdigitales que ya están funcionando en distintas estaciones de FGC. 

Se trata de una excelente oportunidad  para que lo conocer de primera mano ese sistema de úlitma generación.

Cenex has published three textbooks, supported by Innovate UK, on innovative transport and charging infrastructure.

The books are available to buy on Amazon and are an introduction to: Low Carbon Road Transport, Shared Mobility, and Vehicle-to-Grid.

They are a useful resource based on Cenex’s extensive portfolio of research and are aimed at anyone looking to move into the sector, either at the start of their career or retraining.

Chris Cox, co-author and Head of Energy Systems & Infrastructure, said: “I’m over the moon to announce the launch of these guides, and to thank the many organisations who have supported us by providing case studies and insights – and to Innovate UK who have supported much of the research which has made these guides possible.

“The world is changing – everyone knows the tale about how, a hundred years ago, you were lucky to spot a car among horse-drawn carriages in the streets of any major city across the world.

“However, since that time the transport sector has not stopped innovating, and over the past decade this innovation has reached new heights.

“Change hasn’t been limited to technology either. As we learn more about climate change and experience the impacts on the world we live in, we’ve seen social and political changes as the focus shifts to reducing our environmental impact on the world.

“Back in transport, these changes have led to the rapid development of a range of low carbon vehicle technologies, including electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cells – to name just a few.

“One of the ongoing challenges these industries face is to find skilled, experienced workers to develop the products.

“To help tackle this need, we have leant on our significant experience and history supporting innovation and research in the transport industry to develop this fantastic set of guides.

“They are filled with technical explanations and market insights, as well background information covering political, social and environmental drivers behind each of the technologies.

“We’ve poured months of effort into pulling the information together in a way which is easily accessible to anyone – providing value whether you are coming from a technical or strategic perspective, or even if you just have a person interest in the topic!”

Each book includes quizzes to apply the information, as well as uncomplicated takeaways and definitions, to give the audience a deep understanding and the confidence to evaluate the benefits, impacts and limitations of each technology in real-world applications.

The webinar ‘Proven alternative financing options for solution providers and buyers of first-of-a-kind sustainable transport solutions’ took place on 25 January 2023. The goal of the webinar was to demonstrate the feasibility and accessibility of alternative finance solutions to attract buyers and solution providers towards trying new methods to access funds and financing.
