At 57 kilometres, the Gotthard Base Tunnel (GBT) is the longest railway tunnel in the world and represents the centrepiece of the New Rail Link through the Alps (NRLA).

SBB is shaping the mobility of the future – simple, personal, connected.

Digitisation is a buzzword: everyone is talking about it, yet they all mean something different by it.

SBB is procuring 62 double-deck trains for long-distance traffic from Bombardier for around CHF 1.9 billion. The new trains will constitute SBB’s largest fleet. With up to 1,300 seats and measuring up to 400 metres, they will boost capacity on the busy west-east axis.

How will the SBB Passenger rolling stock fleet change in the future?

SBB's mobile telecommunications strategy is centred on maximising customer benefits: on board trains we are using repeaters, and at railway stations we are focusing on free Internet access.

Our mobility is changing and so is Switzerland. Technological and social developments will greatly influence the way in which we travel and use space in Switzerland.
