Episode 46: Modernizing Rail For A Digital and Sustainable Future

Published: Nov. 4, 2021, 5 a.m.

2021 is the Year of Rail, an EU wide initiative to promote rail as "a sustainable, innovative and safe mode of transport”. Railways have an incredible opportunity to invest in passenger experience to increase the number of travelers they serve. In addition, digitalizing the existing infrastructure (utilizing asset management and digital twin) allows both cargo and passengers to be transported in a sustainable, affordable, and safe way. Alicia Gutierrez and Kevin Schock from SAP’s Travel & Transportation industry team sit with host Tom Raftery to discuss what this means for SAP, our customers and the implications for both cargo and rail travelers.
