Frauscher celebrates the European Year of Rail
The ambitious goals for emission savings in mobility rely on the rail sector which is already becoming increasingly popular all over the world. In order to position rail as an even more attractive alternative to air and road transportation, the challenge is to further push towards interoperability to enable accessible cross-border train traffic for both passenger and freight services in Europe.
Starting from Lisbon on 2 September and traveling through 26 European countries over the span of several weeks, the Connecting Europe Express is intended to showcase this unifying force of rail. At the same time, highlighting the challenges that the European rail industry must overcome to tap into its potential as even more popular mode of green transportation.
Maintaining close relationships to its customers and understanding their respective markets have always been of utmost importance at Frauscher. While the headquarters in Austria remain a strong base for research and development as well as production, the establishment and steady growth of locations throughout Europe over the years have paved the way for Frauscher's success today.
Since the establishment of Frauscher Polska in 1998, a success story on its own that has been recently highlighted by Managing Director Andrzej Bartnik in our corporate blog, local offices in the UK, France, Croatia and Serbia have subsequently expanded Frauscher's market presence throughout the continent. With the opening of the Innovation Centre in Annaberg-Buchholz in 2018 and the office in Frankfurt, Frauscher continues to consolidate its leading position amongst signalling companies in the railway industry.
