“Process, Power, People – Energy efficiency for Railway Managers” - UIC 2008

Energy Efficiency and the reduction of CO2 emissions are crucial topics for the railways for two reasons: financial savings and political priorities. This brochure promotes best practices for saving energy on railways and outlines how this can be implemented using existing management systems. It has been prepared by ATOC on behalf of UIC. Together with the brochure we provide you with the accompanying pocket leaflet, which describes in a very catchy way energy consumption and savings for the railways.
We also offer you the possibility of translating this pocket leaflet into your language, if you would like to use it for internal communication in your company.
