Rail Freight

Rail Freight

What combination of drivers is leading to accelerated growth in the rail freight market?
The rail freight market is expected to grow, bolstered by the increasing demand for freight services. Freight constitutes goods or produce transported from one point to another using multiple transportation modes like ships, planes, trains, or trucks. Trains are consistently selected as the transportation means for lengthy cargo hauls due to their proficient and cost-effective characteristics. For instance, the US-based Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a component of the Department of Transportation (DOT), reported that class I freight and operating revenues in July 2024 had increased by 13.8% in 2022 relative to 2021. This resulted in a total freight revenue of $80 billion and $84.5 billion in operational revenue. Hence, the escalating demand for freight services is triggering the expansion of the rail freight market.

What trends are poised to drive the future success of the rail freight market?
Leading businesses in the rail freight industry are adopting innovative strategies such as the introduction of new hybrid trains to enhance their market profitability. These hybrid trains are regional, electric-diesel-battery powered units equipped with two energy storage systems, allowing for decreased energy usage and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. An example of this is the initiative taken by Alstom, a French rolling stock manufacturer, and SNCF Voyageurs in February 2022. They launched the first-ever French hybrid train for regions like Occitanie, Grand-Est, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and Centre-Val-de-Loire, marking France's initial foray into hybridizing Régiolis trains. This project, which commenced in 2018 as a collaborative endeavor between SNCF Group and Alstom, was financially supported by the Occitanie, Grand-Est, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and Centre-Val de-Loire regions. The primary aim of the project is to contribute to the reduction of the regional train fleet's carbon emissions.
