Transforming Mobility: Hitachi Rail’s Vision for Smarter, Greener Journeys

Why is Sustainable Mobility significant?

The transport sector is the world’s second-largest source of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, contributing 23% of global CO₂ emissions.¹
In India, while the transport sector accounts for just 5% of gross value added (GVA), it is responsible for 12% of the nation’s CO₂ emissions from energy use.¹

Decarbonising transport is critical for India’s Net Zero journey, and rail mobility holds the key to driving this transformation.
