Trail to rail lunch webinar!

The digital automated coupler (DAC) enables further digitalisation and automation of the European rail system. DAC will have a major impact on the European rail freight transport by increasing the capacity for shifting freight transport to rail through new technologies and innovations, thus providing a foundation for climate protection and economic growth.
