⚡️Did you know that railways are among the largest single #electricity consumers in many EU countries?

Although it plays a key role in decarbonising passenger & freight transport, the high electrification rate makes the rail sector highly vulnerable to price shocks.

(1/2) @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu

Supporting rail transport is a strategic, future-proof decision that advances:

➡️ Regions & cities competitiveness and cohesion
➡️ Energy efficiency
➡️ Europe’s climate goals
➡️ Mitigates dependence on imported fossil fuels
➡️ and enhances overall industrial competitiveness.
