What are the main benefits for railway companies in this region?
It’s basically the proximity to the metropolitan area, the mobility here in North Rhine-Westphalia, the proximity to the Ruhr area, and the connection to the Deutsche Bahn rail network.
How does the vision for climate-neutrality suit your company?
We ourselves will be climate-neutral as a location by 2030, and as a manufacturer of rail vehicles, we also offer sustainable products here – be it hydrogen fuel cell or battery vehicles – in order to provide society with sustainable and climate-neutral mobility.
