(Teleborsa) – The FS Italiane Group plans to invest 31 billion for integrated and digital mobility, also placing the needs of people and the territory at the center. This was announced by the CEO, Luigi Ferraris, at the Camogli Communication Festival, reiterating the key role of railway mobility and the centrality of the Group’s investments in the PNRR, in his speech at the debate “Recovery and sustainability: is it possible?”, with Antonio Baravalle (CEO of Lavazza ), Gabriele Galateri di Genola (President of Generali) and the journalist Ferruccio de Bortoli.
Ferraris – according to what can be read on the information site FS News – stated that the FS Group plans to “invest 31 billion of the PNRR in integrated mobility at 360 degrees, continuing to develop High Speed and regional transport, through solutions based on value creation, respecting people’s needs “.
Remembering that the sustainability it is in the DNA of railway mobility, the CEO of the FS Italiane Group said that “it also means lending a lot attention to territories, people, connectivity“. And “enhance the territory in which we live”.
At the same time – underlined Ferraris – the infrastructures must be “increasingly interconnected thanks to digitalization and training courses for young people, which are decisive for facing the challenges of tomorrow “. Outlining the profile of the traveler of the future, the manager explained: “Let’s imagine a young student who goes to university. We must ensure that the transport is fluid, fast, comfortable, but also equipped with the necessary equipment to ensure that travelers are connected “. This implies “creating more and more the conditions for travel to take place with a level of connection, even virtual, by promoting and developing diffusion of WiFi on board the trains“.
An example of investment in the integrated mobility of the future – the manager anticipated – are the 15 billion that the Group intends to use for high speed and the Genoa-Milan connection, to enhance transport in Liguria with quality trains and new infrastructures, for extra-regional interconnections up to the European corridors, with particular attention to freight connections.
Mobility is not just the Arrows – he recalled – “we have the Intercity, a second level of rapid connection much more fluid than regional trains, which allows the use of existing lines and to upgrade a mid-level offer, certainly very usable in our countries or in our cities that cannot be reached by high speed “.
