High Speed Rail for the U.S.

Get more insights

For decades, the United States has talked about high- speed rail, but now is the time to turn vision into reality. As our planet faces one of its greatest challenges, fighting climate change, transportation is key to lowering CO2 emissions. With zero emissions and a 100% electrified network, high speed rail can help the country move to a more sustainable transportation system. Doing so while spurring economic development and broadening labor markets at every city along the route, high- speed rail creates jobs, including high skilled manufacturing jobs. The market creation will expand the rail industry, an industry on which our country has been built for the past 150 years and has continued to keep our nation moving. Truly high speed rail will happen here – now is the time.

Technology to transform American rail

As a Buy-America compliant rolling stock, rail infrastructure and electrification manufacturer in the United States for nearly four decades and with 2,000 suppliers across 40+ states, We are excited about the possibility of high-speed rail in America. High-speed Rail would not only deliver a more sustainable and efficient transportation option for Americans, it would also create jobs and connect communities that have been disconnected from urban centers. HSR is the way of the world and I would love nothing more than to see this in the USA!

Economic Benefits

Every $1 billion spent on rail creates 24,000 jobs. Every $1 invested in rail creates $4 in economic benefits. Investing in high speed rail has the ability to create significant economic development opportunities for all types of cities – expanding visitor markets, supporting the growth of technology clusters and increasing business productivity.

Sustainability

A greener travel experience, our zero emission electric trainsets will reduce 55,000 tons of carbon dioxide per every 100 miles traveled when compared to car travel – the equivalent of removing over 1 million cars from the road for one whole year.

Passenger experience

Business travelers, students and tourists alike will benefit from comfortable seating, ample legroom, the latest amenities, and full connectivity on board our high speed trainsets. With ADA level boarding and our climate control system that keeps all passengers comfortable, our trainsets offer a quiet and comfortable ride no matter your reason for traveling.

Safety

Safety is at the cornerstone of everything we do – from state of the art train control systems to locomotives with a crash energy management system with crumple zone. According to a report in the Journal of Public Transportation, riding commuter and intercity rail is about 30 times safer than driving in a car.
