The Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport is pressing ahead with the digital transformation and the roll-out of digital infrastructure. Our aim is to take Germany to the digital future and make it fit to master the upcoming challenges. At the same time, we want mobility to be climate neutral. Combating climate change must be considered an all-embracing and cross-sectoral task. We need a strong railway sector, climate neutral heavy goods vehicles, ships and aircraft, attractive and safe cycle paths and footways. As regards passenger cars, it is quite clear that we must advance the changeover to climate neutral mobility. A modern and reliable infrastructure is the basis for social inclusion and prosperity, both in cities and in rural areas, thus creating more opportunities and enabling progress.

Transport enabling sustainable economy – this year’s motto of the ITF Summit is aimed at a number of important, current issues in Saxony’s transport sector. Sustainable economy means considering all branches, all areas of society in context. The challenges – not only in environmental protection – are enormous. The different conditions in cities and rural areas require different and at the same time closely networked transport systems. What they all have in common is the challenge of minimizing greenhouse gases, i.e. getting away from fossil fuels. Solutions are being researched across all areas of traffic with the help of digital test fields. The Saxon state government supports many projects in this area.
At the Summit, among other things, the Smart Rail Connectivity Campus will be presenting elements of the Annaberg-Buchholz-Schwarzenberg railway test track. In order to make rail traffic more effective, 5G-supported control systems for trains are being developed here.
Flexible and user-friendly operating concepts for public transport in rural areas are being developed in Zwönitz, Ore Mountains. Innovative fuel cell technology is being developed at the Fraunhofer Institute in Saxony.
Sustainability is environmental protection, but goes far beyond that. It also means economical use of resources for our children and grandchildren, fair globalization, social development, education and culture. Saxony is being a co-designer and pioneer here.

With overhead contact lines, trucks can be supplied with electric energy while driving. This dynamic charging makes economical road freight without GHG or exhaust emissions possible by using less energy, resources, and time. The technology already exists and is ready to be scaled up globally based on established supply chains. This makes dynamic charging via overhead contact lines an indispensable part of the climate action toolbox.
