At a time when rail is experiencing a renaissance as a sustainable mode of transport and our industry is changing at a rapid pace, stability and continuity at the top of the company are crucial success factors. I am very much looking forward to continuing our successful course together with Dr. Triska and Mr. Furnivall and to actively shaping the global trend toward more rail-based green mobility."
