Innovative projects
Collaboration is key
Rail Sweden is a neutral project collaborator focusing on knowledge and innovation related to rail freight. We work to create collaborations that accelerates a sustainable, smart freight supplychain in Sweden and Europe. We do this by participating in large projects focusing on innovations within automation and digitalisation to increase the railway's capacity and efficiency.
Tomorrow's Digital Freight Trains Tested in Sweden!
The first demonstration train equipped with digital automatic couplers is now running on the Nässjö-Gothenburg route. These couplers enable electrification and data transfer between the carriages, creating opportunities to enhance both safety and railway capacity, while contributing to societal benefits and increased competitiveness.
Innovative Freight Assets - an overview of facts and news
This webinar focused on multimodal hydrogen containers, automation through the self-propelled wagon and aerodynamic energy-efficient wagons designs for safety and efficient driving practices. Watch the film, download the presentation and update yourself on the status, ongoing work and plans.
Deep dive into the Digital Automatic Coupler
The Digital Automatic Coupler (DAC) is an enabler to create a modern, more efficient, sustainable and competitive European rail freight system. In this article we explain how it is possible for DAC to be this important enabler and how it can make rail meet the needs of an increased amount of sustainable transport.
