🚽 Last week, our colleague Sylvia Bytow-Weissheimer attended the 1st German School Toilet Summit to proudly announce one of the winners of the nationwide competition "@Toiletten machen Schule®" (Toilets making the grade) by German Toilet Organization (GTO). ❌ Ailing school facilities, too little investment in educational infrastructure and overcrowding classrooms continue to be problematic. In many places, pupils eat and drink less so that they do not have to use poorly equipped school toilets, which can have health consequences. 🎖 As part of the competition, 135 schools with 76,125 pupils developed ideas and implemented concepts to sustainably improve their school toilets. One primary (Grundschule an der Stielerstraße, Munich), middle (Hellweg Realschule, Unna), and high school (Gymnasium Winsen an der Luhe) were awarded and received the main prizes. 👧 Svenja Ksoll from GTO particularly emphasised the power of participation: "If the pupils' wishes and needs are heard and they can actively decide for themselves, a lot can change." 👦 🙌 Kudos to all for addressing this critical issue and driving change in our schools!

🌟 Our Couch Talks are going into the next round! 🌟 For the second time, our women's network Women@KB Munich invited female employees to our Couch Talks. The event is designed to inspire and empower them with valuable career insights. In a cozy and personal setting, we hear from accomplished role models who share their career journeys and lessons learned along the way. 📍 Recently, we had the wonderful opportunity to speak with our Executive Board member Dr. Claudia Mayfeld about her experiences and career development. She provided important guidance on how to build a successful career. Important learnings for all participants: 👉 Careers cannot be predicted or planned. You need to be in the right place at the right time with the right mentor. 👉 Always be yourself and listen to your inner compass! Only when you are happy with what you are doing can you bring out the best in yourself. 👉 Maintain a sustainable network, take advantage of mentoring opportunities, be visible in your work environment, and be confident in yourself and the issues you represent. Many thanks to Birgit Popp & Monique Rühl for hosting this inspiring talk! #WomenAtKB #Women #Network #Career #TeamKnorrBremse

A step-change technology – designed to revolutionize rail freight transportation across Europe!🚆   💡 Yesterday, we proudly showcased our Digital Automatic Coupler (DAC) and associated systems technologies at an inspiring #DACDay event in Zurich, Switzerland, co-initiated and co-hosted by rail solutions provider PROSE.   Together with industry partners, our representatives engaged with decision-makers from the political sphere, rail operators and industry associations. The shared goal is to join forces in making rail freight transportation more efficient, flexible, and competitive through the implementation of next-gen innovations such as the DAC.   Among other topics, our colleagues discussed recent progress and future milestones on the path to the DAC’s wide-spread roll-out across the Swiss and entire Europe’s rail freight fleet. After all, only a strong, digitalized rail freight sector will be able to carry more cargo in an eco-friendly and sustainable way – making a key contribution to achieving the continent’s ambitious CO2 reduction targets.   🤝 Thank you to everyone who participated in making this a vibrant event, as well as for your continued partnership and long-term collaboration.
