A strong partnership for the future of European freight transport

For the second time, the Rail Academy Vienna is taking the lead in the interoperable training of locomotive drivers from Rail Cargo Hungaria Zrt.

This year, we are not only responsible for the language course in railway operations, but we are also taking over the full methodological and didactic design of the training sessions, as well as the entire project organization and implementation of the joint initiative between the Rail Cargo Group and Rail Cargo Hungaria Zrt.

Exciting Times at Rail Academy Vienna!

We're thrilled to share highlights from a remarkable event held for lecturers of the upcoming Railway Disposition Course - the first of its kind in Europe! This groundbreaking initiative aims to set new standards for international railway dispatchers.

Yesterday marked the inaugural meetup of representatives from five leading companies across four different countries, all collaborating to design this industry-leading course. The synergy and shared vision among these professionals were truly inspiring.

This unique course, organized by Rail Academy Vienna, promises to equip railway dispatchers with cutting-edge knowledge and skills, fostering excellence and innovation in railway disposition across Europe and beyond.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this vision a reality. Together, we're paving the way for a new era in railway management!

We sincerely thank FH St. Pölten – University of Applied Sciences for the invitation!

We sincerely thank FH St. Pölten – University of Applied Sciences for the invitation! Building and maintaining our relationships with universities in the industry is very important to us. We look forward to a future collaboration with this renowned educational institution and to advancing research in the field of personnel interoperability together.

Additionally, our new training concept for dispatching will be evaluated by the program management of Railway Technology and Mobility to ensure a smooth transition for our graduates into further studies.

The team of Rail Academy Vienna is in London to further expand their international relationships. We thank Colin Charman FCIRO - President of European Training Centre for Railways (ETCR) and Chris Boyce - Managing Director of SmoothtraxGroup for the interesting discussions.

We are at a historic location to expand our entrepreneurial activities. Over 40 years ago, the vision was born here to construct a tunnel through the English Channel and create Europe's first interoperable railway system. This vision was as visionary as our own - to revolutionize the European rail industry through a unified operating language and efficient cross-border transportation.

Now, in the birthplace of the railway, we are preparing to expand into additional countries - after Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary, as well as finding cooperation partners in other countries. Together with our partners, we aim to become a multinational company and sustainably shape the future of the European railway world.

Europe is facing the challenge of achieving its ambitious Green Deal objectives. A key aspect of this is the shift of goods and people to rail transport. This necessitates a significant expansion of infrastructure capacities. Optimized capacity management is crucial to avoid waste. The CER (Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies) welcomes the recent proposals regarding the use of railway infrastructure as a crucial step.

In this context, we at the Rail Academy Vienna are developing an innovative training program for the operational management sector of railway companies. We are revolutionizing the training of dispatchers responsible for the meaningful utilization of capacities. Our international focus ensures interoperability and efficient logistics services across borders. This guarantees uniform competency levels in the industry.
