Traction vehicle consumption, both electric and diesel, can represent a significant part of the costs for railway companies. Unlike many other costs, energy costs can be managed.
As an increasing proportion of consumption is metered, there is an opportunity to actively manage energy and reduce expenditure.
For a lasting impact also company processes need to be reviewed and adapted. The effects of one-off actions quickly fade without this step. Energy efficiency must become a value in the company, just as safety or punctuality is in many railway companies.
