Decarbonizing the transport sector is crucial to achieve net zero, especially given it accounts for 25 percent of global carbon emissions. Rail, an environmentally friendly mode of transportation, plays a vital role in this effort.
Hitachi Rail, committed to driving the sustainable mobility transition, has developed “Blues” for Trenitalia (Italian State Railways Group —– the largest railway operator in Italy). As of December 2023, 46 sets of Blues trains have been delivered to Trenitalia. Currently they are in use across eight regions, including Tuscany, Sardinia, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Calabria.
