SNCF
Zelra’s DAS solution makes the news in France
Zelra’s Driving Advice System (DAS) has been in the news in France, where the Minister for Transport, Clément Beaune, praised its effectiveness in delivering optimal sustainability and operational outcomes for Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Français (SNCF).
Mr Beaune highlighted the energy savings and decarbonisation benefits delivered by Zelra’s DAS solution. The state rail operator SNCF relies upon DAS to maximise the efficiency of its signature high-speed service, the TGV.
Yarra Trams
Melbourne’s iconic tram network integrating Zelra’s AVLC technology
This multi-year agreement between Zelra and Yarra Trams will equip 100 E-class trams with advanced tracking, providing real-time operational visibility for improved fleet management and on-time performance.
Carla Purcell, Yarra Trams CEO, highlighted the project’s role in ensuring “an efficient, sustainable, and reliable” service, reinforcing Keolis Downer’s commitment to the network’s future.
SCT
Streamlining operations with Zelra’s Rail WFM solution
With a focus on supporting SCT’s ongoing expansion, Zelra’s WFM system, tailored specifically for rail, promises to streamline rostering, resource forecasting, and compliance, providing a crucial, unified view across SCT’s operations.
As Geoff Smith, SCT Group Managing Director, noted, this integration will deliver “enhanced operational outcomes,” ensuring SCT continues to provide “Australia’s most efficient and independent freight services.”
KiwiRail
A driver’s journey from tech sceptic to DAS champion
“My perspective became that coasting a 1,500 tonnes train for 15 kms was actually a pretty cool thing, instead of constantly being on the power then on the brake. The penny dropped that if you follow DAS advice, you’re effectively moving the train for free for that 15 kms.
“A significant mindset change for me was realising that combining a driver’s own skills and judgement with the advice is the best use of DAS. I would look at the advice then improve it in small ways, because I understood that I could also make it better at times.
Qube
Zelra’s workforce management solution is the right fit for Qube
Australia’s largest provider of import and export logistics services has chosen Zelra’s Workforce Management (WFM) solution to support its growing rail business.
The multi-year commitment between Zelra and Qube Logistics is set to deliver WFM technology for Qube’s entire rail operation across Australia’s east coast.
