Rail freight transport plays an essential role in the sustainable mobility system of the future. Shifting freight traffic to rail is an efficient and fast way to counteract steadily rising CO2 emissions. In the current episode of the InnoTrans Podcast, Cornelius Weitzmann CEO Mobility Voith Turbo talks about an important milestone for a fundamental transformation of the sector towards automation and digitalization - Digital Automatic Coupling (DAC). This is seen as a unique opportunity to revolutionize European rail freight. Through new technologies and innovations, DAC brings more capacity for shifting freight traffic to rail and thus creates a basis for climate protection and economic growth.
