2017 was a very varied year for us, as shown by the variety of our articles. We have accompanied major topics such as the new VDE8 high-speed line, participated live in events such as “experience mobility” and took you behind the scenes of Deutsche Bahn.
Together with you we would like to look back on the year. For this we have compiled the most popular articles of each month for you:
