Of course, it’s more interesting to see actual projects than promises that might not come to pass. Last week, I spoke to Giuseppe Marino, Group CEO of Hitachi Rail, who is in Hagerstown, Maryland, today for the official opening of the London-based manufacturer’s $100 million “lighthouse” digital factory and customer experience center.
Still, Marino is optimistic, saying his company sits at the “intersection of energy transition and digital transition” in a period where the value proposition of rail transcends politics.
