Digital Automatic Coupling is the topic of this year's rail freight transport, so there is no harm in revisiting this topic and recalling the information from the DAC conference held this November in Bratislava at the headquarters of ZSSK CARGO. Among those present were representatives of ŽESNAD.cz, AROS RAIL SK, ČD Cargo, ZSSK CARGO and ZVKV.
