Regional non-electrified railways in Europe are facing significant challenges to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In addition to GHG emission regulations, companies are also imposing voluntary emission reduction targets, not only because of cor
...
The Netherlands have one of the highest rail electrification rates in the EU with over 75% of the railway network electrified (European Comission, 2018), offering environment-friendly trains operation. However, in order to achieve carbon neutral railway sector by 2050, significan
...
Non-electrified regional railway lines with typically employed diesel-electric multiple units require alternative propulsion systems to meet increasingly strict emissions regulations. With the aim to identify an optimal alternative to conventional diesel traction, this paper pres
...
The railway sector is facing significant challenges in addressing the increasing concerns related to climate change, environmental pollution and scarcity of resources. This especially applies to often non-electrified regional railway networks, with passenger services provided by
...
This paper presents a simulation-based analysis of hybrid and plug-in hybrid propulsion system concepts for diesel-electric multiple unit regional railway vehicles. These alternative concepts primarily aim to remove emissions in terminal stops with longer stabling periods, with a

Hybridization of diesel multiple unit railway vehicles is an effective approach to reduce fuel consumption and related emissions in regional non-electrified networks. This paper is part of a bigger project realized in collaboration with Arriva, the largest regional railway undert
...
Regional railways, often characterized by non-electrified lines and transport services provided by diesel-electric multiple units, require the identification of alternative propulsion systems to meet strict emission regulations. Hydrogen, when produced using green electricity, of

Sustainability of Railway Passenger Services
A Review of Aspects, Issues, Contributions and Challenges of Life Cycle Emissions
This paper presents a review of research and models regarding sustainability of railway passenger services. In order to take into account all relevant aspects in terms of environmental impacts of a railway passenger service, a holistic system perspective is required, that include
