Global Rail Group’s core competences are data-based consulting and decision management for asset management in railway infrastructure. This enables realistic KPIs and priorities to be set together with DRS Alliance customers and recommendations to be implemented cost-effectively. For example, as a consulting partner, Global Rail Group conducted a feasibility study in 2022 in collaboration with the DRS Alliance on a possible increase in the line speed of trains from 130 km/h to 200 km/h on the Delhi-Agra route in India.
