Synergies and Future Prospects The combination of Stadler's expertise in rolling stock manufacturing and BÄR's proficiency in signaling technology creates significant synergies. This allows for optimized design and integration of signaling systems into Stadler's trains, resulting in more efficient and reliable operation. The joint venture will also benefit from shared resources, technological expertise, and a broader customer base. The geographical proximity of the two companies further facilitates seamless collaboration and rapid implementation of joint projects. The combined entity will be well-positioned to capitalize on the growing global demand for modern, digital railway systems, particularly CBTC (Communications-Based Train Control) solutions. Stadler's recent order for battery-powered multiple units exemplifies the increasing need for technologically advanced, sustainable rail solutions.
