Trenitalia has unveiled an ambitious industrial plan aimed at transforming Italy's rail mobility through a 2 billion euro investment focused on enhancing high-speed rail services. The company's CEO, Gianpiero Strisciuglio, highlighted this strategy during the Winter Edition Forum in Masseria, outlining a vision to bolster Trenitalia's technological leadership by increasing both capacity and service efficiency. As part of this initiative, the rollout includes plans for 74 new Frecciarossa 1000 trains to operate on Italian and international routes by 2030.

In addition to high-speed rail, Strisciuglio assured that regional transport will also see significant improvements. He noted that by 2027, Italy will boast the youngest train fleet in Europe, with an average age of between 5 and 10 years. Currently, more than 1,000 of the 1,300 trains in operation are already of the latest generation, signaling a strong commitment to modernization and efficiency within the sector.

This extensive enhancement of the fleet is supported by resources from Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Pnrr) and reflects the broader vision of the Italian State Railways Group. As Trenitalia moves forward with this ambitious plan, the implications for Italy’s transport infrastructure and economic landscape will be significant, potentially making train travel not just a competitive alternative but also a leader in sustainable mobility across Europe.
