Pencil in May 26 - 29 next year for the HVTT symposia in Quebec, Canada. HVTT is a great opportunity to meet a significant share of the global lead professionals within heavy vehicles transport technology, expand network, learn and exchange knowledge and best practices. We in the Nordisk Vejforum NVF working group on Vehicles and Transportation arranged HVTT in Stockholm 2012, which had profound impact in terms of 'Setting Future Standards' in the Nordic countries. In 2013, Finland increased max gross vehicle combinations weight to 76 ton, followed by 34,5 m max length. In 2015, Sweden increased to 64 ton, and 2018 to 74 ton. Now we also have 34,5 m. Since 2012, also Denmark and Norway have taken numerous steps to increase the capacity of several types of heavy vehicles. These new standards have strongly increased sustainability of road transports. The HVTT symposia facilitated the evolution. Take the opportunity to participate in Quebec 2025! Call for papers has opened.

🚗Despite the transportation industry’s powerful transformation, one question remains: Which powertrain is right for each mobility category? On November 1st, FTMS: “Investments Driving Connected and Electrified Transportation” brings you a lively debate around what drives the industry forward: electric vehicles or cell electric vehicles. Join us as industry leaders go head-to-head with the critical factors driving the trucking industry forward by exploring supply chains, energy delivery systems, and the balance between payload and overall vehicle weight. Dive into this plus insightful keynotes, engaging panel discussions, virtual exhibitions and more at FTMS! 👉Register at ftms.citm.ca #ev #electricvehicles #transportation #event #conference #networking #smartmobility #connectivity #connectedvehicles #electrification #FTMS2023

Today, I presented at the RailTech conference in Utrecht on competition in international railway connections in Europe. Main message: competition can be a catalyst to improve international rail. Competition drives an improved service offering with lower ticket prices, realising a higher demand and therefor an increased revenue for both incumbent and new entrant. But even with the 4th Railway Package in place, there remain important obstacles to be resolved such as availability of maintenance facilities, access to passengers for sales and information and through ticketing to name the three most important. However, competition is not the silver bullet for any route or network and in order to be effective, should be organised.

Data-insights in all it's forms is the key to sustainable success.

Really interesting talk from Oded Cats about the possibilities regarding the future of tranportation strategic planning, in the EU level. I do have to say, though, that the emission credits will be a tough sell for us Greeks. Why? Well, a large part of our GDP comes from tourism and our tourists mostly come flying from relatively far-away places (even within Europe), where even quality rail links would struggle to compete with air travel.

It’s going to be an awesome week 🥳 – let’s get it started! 🚆 The 4th German-Austrian Railway Dialogue/Deutsch-Österreichischer Bahn-Dialog by ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA will kick things off on September 5. We’re eagerly anticipating the keynotes on Predictive Maintenance, our main focus. And we’re also excited to see Ute Gläser and Frédéric Comtet again! At Railway Forum from September 6-7, we'll be exploring how technologies like automation and digitalisation are rapidly changing the landscape of the industry, and we’re looking forward to discuss about them. With inspiring talks from thought leaders and experts, as well as opportunities to participate in the conference program and reconnect with old friends - plus make some new ones - it's sure to be an amazing event time. 🤩 We can't wait to hear the inspiring talks, join in on the conference program, and reconnect with old friends - and make some new ones! Let’s dive into discussions, share best practices, and explore ways to drive innovation and success together. 💬 #RailwayForumBerlin #DigitalFuture #SustainableTechnologies #RailwayIndustry
