Energy efficiency has never been more essential. For urban rail stakeholders, it is vital for both financial resilience and environmental leadership.
Many public transport operators recognise the challenge. In a recent global survey by UITP, over 70% of operators report having energy efficiency targets.
And their answers offer insights and real-world case studies of how public transport operators can deliver the same high-quality mobility with significantly lower energy input.
