Growing expectations regarding availability, operational efficiency, and maintainability are driving the modernization of signalling and control systems. At the same time, infrastructure managers are looking for more flexible solutions that allow them to integrate and operate components from different suppliers more easily. One of the key developments supporting this transition is EULYNX.  

At InnoTrans 2026 in Berlin, voestalpine Railway Systems will present its "New Urban Track" system solution, a newly developed track superstructure system for trams and light rail systems. The integrated system was specifically designed for embedded tracks in urban areas and addresses key challenges such as high wear, costly maintenance, and increasing demands for availability, noise, and vibration reduction.

At InnoTrans 2026 in September, voestalpine Railway Systems will present the Keyway Tie. This concrete tie, specially developed for individual replacement of sleepers in wooden sleeper tracks, features an integrated fastening system and combines the advantages of concrete and wood in a single solution. It ensures greater stability, a longer track lifespan, and enables phased modernization without costly modifications. It can be used in freight traffic as well as in urban and mixed traffic. 

The new virtual tour is now available online and, for the first time, offers a concise, digital overview of key areas of voestalpine’s Leoben-Donawitz site – including the rail rolling mill of voestalpine Railway Systems. In a modern interface, users can interactively explore various stations and gain a realistic impression of our production environment.

At InnoTrans 2026 in Berlin, voestalpine Railway Systems presents UniAC[2], a modern axle counting system consistently designed in line with the principles of modular, standardized, and interoperable signalling technology. The focus is on supporting a EULYNX-compliant system architecture, enabling long-term investment protection and seamless multi-vendor integration.

voestalpine Railway Systems will establish a special trackwork manufacturing facility in Thorold, Ontario, Canada, through its newly formed subsidiary voestalpine Railway Systems Nortrak Canada. The company has entered into a long-term agreement with Canadian National (CN) to supply special trackwork manufactured in Canada.

voestalpine Railway Systems JEZ, a subsidiary of voestalpine Railway Systems, a leading global provider of railway infrastructure solutions, is celebrating 100 years of innovation in the railway sector. With its investments, international presence and clear focus on sustainability, the plant in Llodio is strengthening its strategic role within the voestalpine Railway Systems Group.

Rail Baltica is one of the most important high-speed rail infrastructure projects in Europe and will create a high-performance north-south connection between Northern and Central Europe. voestalpine Railway Systems has received its largest single order to date, worth approximately 470 million euros, for the supply of high-tech turnouts and digital monitoring systems. This further strengthens voestalpine’s position as a leading global provider of system solutions for railway infrastructure.

InnoTrans is considered THE most important international trade fair for transportation technology and takes place every two years at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds. For its 30th anniversary from September 22 to 25, voestalpine Railway Systems will once again be on site, showcasing its latest developments as the world’s leading provider of complete rail infrastructure systems.

What is the actual condition of my track? Where exactly is it located, and when does it require maintenance? In practice, this very transparency is usually lacking. Data is often fragmented and difficult to access, leading to inefficiency. zentrak, the digital platform from voestalpine Railway Systems, transforms traditional railway infrastructure into a smart, connected system. With the help of zentrak, every meter of track continuously provides data, detects damage early on, and helps to plan maintenance effectively. This, in turn, extends the service life of the infrastructure.
