In this episode of the On The Right Track podcast series, host Juan Montero, Part-time Professor at the Transport Area of the Florence School of Regulation, is joined by Veronika Haunold, European and International Affairs Manager at the Austrian Federal Railways ÖBB, in discussing the role of railways in driving the decarbonisation of the transport sector. What can railways do to support transport decarbonisation? What are the necessary measures to support the Commission’s modal shift objectives in relation to passenger rail? How can we meet passengers’ need for intermodal door-to-door connectivity? How can digitalisation boost multimodality? What is ÖBB doing in respect to night train services? What are the main obstacles to modal shift in freight transport? How can digital tools help to resolve these? Are railways “green” enough? Listen to their full conversation to get the answers to these questions
