WDI receives the Siemens Mobility Supplier Award ‘Sustainability’ 2024
In September, WDI was awarded the 1st prize for sustainability at an event in Berlin.
The reason for the award are overhead line cables specially manufactured for Siemens, which were required for the power supply of a new railway line. These are made of steel and aluminium. By carefully selecting the primary material and liaising closely with the suppliers, we were able to design a cable that saves up to 70% of CO2 emissions compared to conventional materials. In this project alone, over 1,440 tonnes of CO2 emissions were saved. We thus made a decisive contribution to the sustainable construction of a railway project in Egypt.
