DLR German Aerospace: The train of the future

What will the 'train of the future' look like? What materials will it be built from?
How will future rail systems be managed? Answering these questions will be facilitated by the cooperation agreement between the German Aerospace Center and the world's leading rail company, Bombardier Transportation, which was signed on 25 November 2009.
