World Sustainable transport Day: our contribution

The world of rail operations is a complex ecosystem in which every element contributes to safety, efficiency and on-time service. Given this context, the ability to centrally manage and track every operational step becomes a strategic lever for companies in the industry.

Can transport software drive a greener future? We believe so.

The environmental issue is becoming increasingly important for transport companies. Monitoring vehicle emissions is now common practice, as well as being necessary to ensure regulatory compliance and optimise the energy efficiency of the fleet.

Our solutions already optimize processes and cut prints, but we have a new integration to bring us even closer to that goal.

Trains as an eco-friendly
transport alternative

According to the Rail Environmental Report 2024, rail transport emits up to five times less CO₂ than aeroplanes, confirming its key role in reducing emissions. However, last year Greenpeace highlighted in its Failed Connections report that European cities are still much better connected by air than by rail, prompting travellers to fly despite the climate impact of aviation.

This year, the European Commission presented an ambitious plan to accelerate the high-speed rail network, with the aim of making trains a viable alternative to short-haul flights and reducing travel times between major European cities. 

Tech for Sustainable Transport.
Our contribution

Technology is fundamental in supporting an eco-sustainable future.
As a company, we want to contribute to the transport sustainable transition.

Over the years, we have helped our customers save more than 1 million printouts.
By optimising shifts, services and routes using our software, our railway company customers save 780 tonnes of CO2 per year.
We implemented a sync with Ecotransit, providing energy consumption and emissions in real time for each vehicle in the fleet.

Logishift synchronization with Ecotransit

In collaboration with a railway company client, we have implemented a new feature for LogiShift that has an impact on sustainability.

Thanks to synchronisation with Ecotransit, energy consumption and emissions can be calculated in real time for each vehicle in the fleet. Practically speaking: 

  • Transport companies can accurately assess and optimise the environmental impact of their operations;
  • End customers can track CO₂ savings from choosing rail over other transports, and use the data for sustainability reports and compliance. 

Long-term sustainability

Software can also help reduce emissions. Given the increasingly green direction of European transport regulations, control tools will be needed to ensure regulatory compliance and operational efficiency in transport. Binary System supports customers in this innovative and ecological transition, in line with its strategic vision for the coming years, as mentioned in the interview with our CEO.
