As digitalisation transforms the rail sector, so the quantity of data generated grows exponentially.

The partnership will accelerate global efforts to decarbonise energy and infrastructures through the design and delivery of high-quality hydrogen technologies, supporting carbon neutral measures.

Ricardo Certification has been appointed by the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) to oversee the enhancement of the industry’s guide to the vehicle authorisation process.

Siemens Mobility has nominated Ricardo Certification in the role of Notified Body for its project to supply 30 new high speed intercity express (ICE) trains for German national railway operator Deutsche Bahn.

HydroFLEX, a project led by rolling stock owner Porterbrook, in partnership with the Birmingham Centre for Railway Research and Education (BCRRE), has successfully undertaken its first mainline test of the UK’s first hydrogen powered train – with support from Ricardo in the key area of safety case development and certification.

Sydney Metro’s West and Western Sydney Airport projects will significantly enhance the public transport infrastructure of Australia’s biggest city.

The Riding Sunbeams project – in which Ricardo is a partner – has won a further £2.5 million of funding to develop solar power for railways.
