The State Railways are ready to transport more and more people, goods, but also information through 4G connectivity that will be implemented on a large part of the network, starting with high-speed trains. With an important look at clean energy that will be provided by massive investments in terms of solar panels. Topics addressed under the heading 'Infrastructure for mobility, connectivity, energy efficiency' today at the Trento Festival of Economics by Luigi Ferraris, CEO of Ferrovie dello Stato. Central theme: 'Intermodal mobility, passengers and goods go hand in hand. This step is necessary if we want the roads not to be too congested. We have structures and human resources to do this and we want to coordinate with urban transport in the cities. But thanks to an agreement with Ita and Lufthansa we are looking at an integrated model that we can extend. Without adjustments, in a few years we will have 1 million more lorries with a huge traffic load on the motorways. The transport of goods by multimedia is still too alternative, the idea is to leave the first and last mile to the road,' Ferraris said.
