Rolling Stock what it entails
Rolling stock is the collective term for locomotives and carriages. These locomotives are traditionally powered by either electricity or diesel. However, in recent years rising crude oil prices and growing environmental concerns about carbon emissions have seen electricity-powered rolling stock increasingly viewed as a viable alternative to diesel-operated rolling stock. This shift has been reflected in government policies of countries such as India, South Korea, Norway, and Canada, which are aiming to completely electrify their railway networks.
This report examines key components of the rolling stock market such as locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars and wagons, metro coaches, and trams. Additionally, it assesses emerging technologies such as energy-efficient materials and digitalization which are likely to disrupt existing business models in this sector.
