BITZER: Safety on the rails


BITZER, the specialist for refrigeration and air conditioning technology, supports operators of rail vehicles by providing products that meet the highest quality requirements – this includes compliance with the current railway standards

The evaluation of products suitable for railways is crucial: anything that does not comply with the current standards is not an option for railways – because safety is the top priority on the rails. With its refrigeration compressors, the traditional company BITZER supplies essential components for rail vehicles that meet the high safety requirements in the railway sector. Two examples:




BITZER: Sustainable refrigerants as a key factor


With its extensive range, BITZER, the specialist for refrigeration and air conditioning technology, offers a whole host of products for sustainable and energy-efficient solutions. In this regard, the topic of refrigerants plays a key role – but no single refrigerant is appropriate for all applications. Here is how to find the right one.

With its products and services for refrigeration and air conditioning technology for the railway sector, BITZER ensures optimum temperature conditions – always within the context of maximum quality and energy efficiency. The company offers the right technology for any application and almost every refrigerant – with a particular focus on legal regulations such as the Ecodesign Directive and the F-Gas Regulation – yet choosing the appropriate refrigerant can still be a challenge.

COVID-19: The impact on Rail R&I
Carlo Borghini, Executive Director, Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking


The past months saw the global economy moving in just a few days to smart working arrangements as a result of the pandemic. Everything happened so fast that almost nobody had the time to prepare, but simply to react with the available instruments while mitigating the business and societal risks associated to such a sudden change. Although it is not yet sure how the pandemic situation will evolve, it is clear that it has had an unprecedented negative impact on the overall global economy, and its consequences will be present for years.

LOOKING TO THE SKIES
Fly by rail


Drones are in the news as big groups and start-ups alike compete and/or join forces to launch flying taxis for cities. Whether and when they will take off is anyone’s guess. Less The Fifth Element, more here and now, the railways are already using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for maintenance and surveillance purposes.


INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SOLUTION
Dealing with the unexpected


As public transport services become increasingly customer-focused (the name change from ‘passengers’ says it all), what helps an operator really stand out and strengthen or weaken their brand is how they respond to the unexpected. In such cases, an efficient incident and crisis management solution is a means of helping them maximise service continuity and deliver journey experiences that ensure customers come back for more – and tell others to do the same.
