Let's have a great 2020!

 

2019 was both exiting and succesful! Our teams realised projects on four continents. Our measurement experts performed tests for passenger trains, special vehicles and rail freight trains. In terms of digitalisation of rail freight transport, PJM keeps innovations leading: More than 2.300 WaggonTracker-systems have been in operation so far (By the way: In Septemer, the WaggonTracker-plattform was awarded the innovation prize FFA). 

2019 was a big success for us. However, we have great plans for next year, too. We have started to work on many things so that we can keep informing you on innvations and novelties. What do we work on? Just some little hints: We always work to improve "the railway system" and hence provide concrete customer's benefits. Martin Joch and Günter Petschnig use to say: "We do know exactly the needs of vehicle manufacturers, railway companies, fleet operators and wagon keepers. We have the know-how and the technologies to provide cutting-edge advantages." We are looking forward to 2020!
