Innovating every day for the future
Technological innovation is a fundamental component of our strategy.
It represents the answer that can increase the efficiency, safety and sustainability of the solutions we offer our customers. Thanks to the work of our engineers and valuable collaborations with our customers and partners, we have developed several innovative projects.
Through the #technologyhub initiative, we work to consolidate a culture of innovation also through the most modern approaches such as the “Open Innovation”, an easy and flexible tool. With this in mind, we have a partnership with STEP Tech Park, the start-up incubator in the green-tech sector, created with the aim of creating matching opportunities between start-ups and the industrial world.

BIM
We believe technological innovation and digitization are the keys to success in the railway industry.
Since 2017, we have started to approach BIM, with relative certification, starting to develop projects according to the standards required by the Building Information Modelling methodology.
Colas Rail Italia for associations and the academic world
One of our priorities is to significantly improve the performance of current rail technologies.
Our work has led us to establish prestigious partnerships with customers, partners and universities.
Since 2009, we have been collaborating in railway research, actively participating in the Joint Research Centre (JRC-Transport) of the Politecnico of Milan University as an industrial partner for the Contact Line and Substations/Energy Efficiency technology.
We are part of the working groups of the Italian Electrotechnical Committee (CEI) for the updating and definition of regulatory and technical standards pertaining to electrical traction systems.
We are member of the Italian Railway Industry Association (ASSIFER) that brings together companies operating in Italy in the field of railways and urban public electrified transport (metro, tram, trolleybuses).
