Rolling Stock White Paper

This report is intended to give a general overview of the global Rolling Stock market and provide information about how Nexans is continuing to provide new products, solutions and services to serve that market.

It opens with a broad description of the world Railway Industry and how it is impacted by global transportation requirements, the cost of energy, climate change, customer demand, geographical constraints and recent technical developments. Both sides of the rail equation – infrastructure and rolling stock – are affected by these major trends, and both in turn affect each other. They are highly symbiotic.

Next, we take a closer look at specific developments in infrastructure and rolling stock, and what actions Nexans is taking to meet current and future demands.

Overall, the key drivers for new developments are population and urbanisation, digitalisation and innovation, sustainability and economic developments in specific geographies. These changes are affecting infrastructure and rolling stock in a variety of ways.

Finally, we will look at the familiar product ranges FLAMEX® Nexans offers, including the latest additions and updates.
