Inventing the future
Tomorrow’s rail system will be more reliable, even more decarbonized, and simpler for passengers and shippers everywhere—and we’re inventing it today.
Our goals
Offer more trains to every customer. Be more competitive and more sustainable. Be at the heart of tomorrow’s mobilities.
The experts in our Technology, Innovation and Group Projects Division (DTIPG) are already at work on the rail system of the future. We aim to reach carbon neutrality by 2050, while offering reliable passenger and freight service that meets the needs of everyone, everywhere—and costs less.

Digitalizing to serve customers
We’re harnessing new technologies to create a digital rail system that’s robust, connected and ever more tailored to the needs of our customers—passengers, shippers and mobility authorities.
Working towards decarbonization
With our partners in France’s regions, academia, and industry, we’re developing new modes of propulsion to reach our Group-wide goal: zero direct carbon emissions by 2050.
Local mobility for all
We believe that mobility is a critical public service—and that it’s one answer to today’s social and economic challenges. That’s why we’re inventing new solutions for people in rural, lightly populated areas.
Emerging technologies
Our scientists are harnessing the transformative power of emerging technologies—artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, new materials and more—to deliver a rail system that performs better, costs less and is even greener.
Towards a single European network
The heart of European transport policy is the creation of a single railway area without borders or barriers. Technological innovation is key to making it a reality.
