Moving people safely and sustainably.
Reliable railway components for comfortable, quiet and efficient passenger journeys.
Sustainable mobility
Rail is how the world will travel.
Transport accounts for around a quarter of global CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. The International Transport Forum forecasts that passenger mobility could grow by 200–300% by 2050, so transport has to change if the world is to reach net zero.
Passenger rail stands out: it is one of the most electrified modes of transport and is built to move large numbers of people efficiently. At Sumcor, we are proud to help the passenger railway industry make sustainable mobility mainstream.
By the numbers
Half of all rail activity, a fraction of the energy
