USTDA supports rail energy efficiency and safety in Brazil
The US Trade and Development Agency has awarded two grants to Brazil’s National Association of Passenger Rail Operators, Associação Nacional dos Transportadores de Passageiros sobre Trilhos (ANPTrilhos), to strengthen rail networks that serve nearly 10 million passengers each day.
USTDA’s grants will fund the development of two technical assistance plans – one for energy efficiency and the other for enterprise asset management. STDA’s technical assistance program with ANPTrilhos will help plan and implement a range of information and communications technology investments to optimize the maintenance of the systems, as well as identify energy efficiency solutions that are specific to the needs of Brazil’s operators.
