RAILTARGET presents you with an interview with Karl-Heinz Fehr, General Counsel Member at VPI European Rail Service GmbH. What will be the biggest challenges facing the rail sector in 2023, and what steps is VPI planning in the DAC field?
How do you evaluate the topics of today's symposium?
Well, I have the feeling that we hit the spot quite well regarding the feedback we've had from our participants. So, well, we did a good job with the choice of topics.
Great! From your perspective, what will be the biggest challenges facing the rail sector in 2023?
First, the most important thing is the infrastructure. We need to have a better organization, as we heard this morning, in coordinating the construction works. The second important topic for us is the further planning and implementation of the DAC, which is the most important topic for the next few years, now only this one.
My last question is related to the DAC. What are the steps that VPI is planning in this area?
We are giving expertise. In our member companies, we have all the technical expertise from the wagon keepers' side and the maintenance workshop, so as the communicators in the association, VPI is asked to represent the interests. We have communication and organizational function.
