Saudi Arabia stands at a historic inflection point—transforming not just its economy but the very way people live, move, and connect. At the heart of this evolution is mobility. Under Vision 2030, the Kingdom is investing in world-class transport infrastructure to diversify its economy, reduce oil dependency, and emerge as a global leader in technology, innovation, and sustainability.

One of the most ambitious objectives? Raising public transport usage in urban centers from just 1% to 15% by 2030. Backed by over $50 billion in investments, Saudi Arabia is building metro systems, high-speed rail, and intelligent mobility solutions that represent more than engineering—they signal a complete reimagining of urban life.

In today's interconnected rail industry, having a partner who understands both international standards and local requirements is crucial for success. TÜV Rheinland, with its 150-year legacy of technical excellence and safety certification, continues to be at the forefront of global rail systems assessment, certification, and consulting services. 

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, consisting of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain, are facing significant changes over the next two decades. These changes are characterized by economic, social and political developments aimed at reducing dependence on oil and creating a sustainable future.

Maintaining high levels of availability and safety is essential for rail operators. The Supervisor Track Section STS and the Counting Head Control CHC are special functions of the Frauscher Advanced Counter FAdC® which is designed to increase availability of railway operations.

Railnova connects assets to make rail transport reliable. We provide our customers with innovative and flexible solutions and accompany them to a comprehensive predictive maintenance and data-driven efficient asset management strategy.

Creating a complete ecosystem for connected rolling stock is not without its challenges. However, by using an increasingly popular and proven model known as co-creation, Passengera, Advantech and Intel have come up with a fully scalable solution that not only enhances the passenger experience, but also provides genuine monetization opportunities.

SAMO II “next generation“ was the working title for a very ambitious development project by satek GmbH.

The entire knowledge and know-how from more than 20 years of experience should flow into the development of a modular principle for sanitary modules in rail vehicle use. The focus was on the design of a platform which, on the one hand, can be flexibly adapted to specific installation spaces and, at the same time, should serve the various variants of standard and universal use required in rail vehicle construction.

The ROHRflex corrugated plastic tubings available so far consist of a polyamide layer. The new generation now features an additional inner polyamide layer which comes along with a number of advantages. The design of this multi-layer tubing could be converted into a physical product thanks to an innovative production technology, realized with a newly acquired multi-layer production line.

Our services include the support to industrialization, production, maintenance, supply chain, quality inspection, organization and continuous improvement.
