What Are The Top Trends In The Freight Cars Industry?
The advent of GPS tracking in freight cars is set to become a rising trend in the freight car market. The incorporation of state-of-the-art GPS technology promises to enhance the efficiency of freight car transportation. Usage of GPS by rail operators in freight cars facilitates the transport process, schedules of freight cars, steadiness of delivery, and minimizes freight car theft. For instance, in June 2022, Indian Railways initialized real-time monitoring (inclusive of passenger and freight trains) via the Control Office Application (COA) system, developed by ISRO in partnership with Indian Railways.
