150 years on the right track.

As cities grow and climate challenges accelerate, the world is demanding cleaner, smarter ways to move. Rail answers that call—with lower emissions, high capacity and unmatched efficiency.

But building modern rail infrastructure isn’t just about laying tracks. It’s about designing systems that connect people, power economies and protect resources. That’s where Tractebel comes in. Modern rail infrastructure must extend beyond the tracks. It’s about crafting integrated mobility hubs where rail seamlessly links with cycling routes, car-sharing systems, and pedestrian pathways. By focusing on synergy between transportation modes, we create environments that optimize connectivity and promote sustainable, multimodal mobility solutions.

With a legacy that tracks back to Europe’s first tramway 150 years ago, we bring the pioneering vision, technical depth, and sustainable innovation needed to design and build the future of rail.

Whether it’s a buzzing metro in a mega-city or a high-speed link across borders, we engineer more than infrastructure—we engineer movement for a better tomorrow.
