The train is the best solution to encounter the challenges of climate change. However, ambitious European goals in rail transport policy require:

  • Significant and unprecedented investments, in a context of deteriorating public finances,
  • Technical skills to successfully carry out highly complex rail procurement projects.

As the European leader in leasing solutions for rail freight operators, Akiem now also offers tailor-made passenger train rentals for passenger rail operators and transport authorities throughout Europe, combining its rail expertise with its unique financing capabilities.
