“Rail is
essential for Romania’s sustainable mobility future. These three projects will
modernize critical signaling infrastructure across the country, improving
safety, increasing network capacity and enabling more reliable rail services
for passengers and freight. Together with our partners ELSITEL and IMSAT, we
are proud to support the digital transformation of Romania’s railway network,“ said
Marc Ludwig, CEO of Rail Infrastructure at Siemens Mobility.
The projects cover
railway sections and stations within the Cluj, Timișoara, Iași and Galați
regional railway branches. They will replace aging signaling infrastructure
that has significantly exceeded its designed operational lifecycle. Existing
electrodynamic and mechanical interlocking systems, some dating back several
decades, will be upgraded with modern signaling and traffic management
technologies, improving safety, capacity, reliability and operational
performance.
In addition to increasing
operational performance, the projects support Romania's and the European
Union's objectives to strengthen rail transport as a sustainable mobility
solution. By enabling more efficient and reliable rail services, the
modernization program will help encourage the shift of passenger and freight
transport from road to rail, contributing to long-term decarbonization goals.
