The target network 2040 is the central, long-term strategy of the federal government for the expansion of the Austrian rail network. From 2024, it will succeed the currently valid target network 2025+. The target network 2040 is an important element for achieving the ambitious goals for the climate-neutral realignment of the mobility sector.

Attractive services and modern technologies are prerequisites for forward-looking mobility and logistics programmes. Customer benefit, safety and quality are right at the top of our agenda with a view to costs and sustainability.
