Vossloh to Provide Eco-Friendly Sleepers to Norway

Vossloh Aktiengesellschaft has secured an agreement to supply concrete railway sleepers to Norway, aiming for a significant cut in CO₂ emissions during production. This initiative involves a partnership with Bane NOR, Norway's railway infrastructure operator, facilitated by Vossloh's subsidiary, Sateba Norway. Using innovative carbon capture technology in cement production, the new sleepers promise over 40% emission reduction compared to previous methods.

The agreement spans up to eight years, covering up to three million sleepers, with the initial two-year phase valued at approximately €50 million. Emphasizing quality, price, and environmental considerations, the contract underlines Vossloh's commitment to sustainability and complements Bane NOR's climate ambitions.

This collaboration highlights Vossloh's strategic expansion following the acquisition of Sateba. CEO Oliver Schuster expressed satisfaction with the alignment of company values, promising quality and sustainable solutions for Norwegian railways.
