Latest news: SNCF is preparing to sell a minority stake in its freight arm, Rail Logistics Europe, with EP Group, CMA CGM, and Rhenus bidding for entry into Western Europe. This occurs as European rail freight activity declined, losing ground to road transport and highlighting capacity constraints needing substantial investment. Meanwhile, Mercitalia S&T secured a five-year concession in Italy for port shunting, utilizing HVO biofuels. Siemens Mobility delivered its 2,000th Vectron locomotive, with the digital Vectron X on the horizon. Additionally, Vossloh achieved a record €1.14bn order backlog.
