From transporting raw materials to industrial equipment, rolling stock plays a multi-functional role on a global scale. With a growing focus of countries on creating a green railway network, several governments and private entities are joining hands to infuse significant investments to achieve their set targets of sustainable transportation.

Thus, with this contract, Siemens Mobility is anticipated to support the Indian Railway's ambition of doubling its freight capacity and achieving sustainable transportation goals.
Government agencies in countries such as South Korea, India, Norway, and Italy are moving towards an electrification of railways. Thus, prompting heavy investments from train service providers and government bodies to develop and expand electric rolling stock and its infrastructure is further anticipated to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in June 2023, LTG Link, a train service provider awarded a contract to Stadler Rail AG, a rolling stock manufacturer to supply flirt trains. The contract include purchase of 15 Flirt units, 26 battery-electric Flirt trains, and 13 electric Flirt Intercity multiple units. The contract also include supply of spare parts and technical support for 10 years from the manufacturer.
The market is driven by the demand for improved passenger comfort. New technologies such as high-speed trains, modern interiors, and advanced sound-insulation systems are making rail travel more comfortable. Moreover, integrating Wi-Fi, infotainment systems, and charging ports in trains enhances the passenger experience. The growing demand for sustainable transportation is a major factor driving the rolling stock market growth. New technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells, battery electric trains, and hybrid locomotives are making rail transportation more sustainable. These technologies reduce emissions, minimize noise pollution, and help improve air quality.
