Overview
**Do you want to make an impact on the climate crisis?** The transport sector accounts for more than 25% of the global energy consumption, and the most impactful action to reduce this is to shift passengers and goods to the modes of transport with highest capacity and energy efficiency; which, for most operations, is Railways. *Rail Vehicle Technology* gives an extensive overview to rail vehicles and their technical basis, while you as a student design a commuter-type train in a course-long project task. The lectures and the project task advance in parallel throughout the course, in a weekly basis, so that technical aspects used in the design of the vehicle are available to the students throughout the lectures and online recordings. Additionally, the course offers an optional study visit to the SJ Hagalund depot, so that you can see and feel in reality how different rail vehicles are, linking theory and simulations from the course to real life engineering practice.
