ROI Calculator

The Challenge


Calculating the "true" ROI for Rail has always been tricky.

This is made more so by the many variables that faces each train operator on a day-to-day basis:

  • Variable Engine + gearbox and power configurations
  • Variable Traction Weight – number of carriages and passengers at any given time
  • Variable Track Conditions – rain, ice, snow and leaves
  • Difference in fuel grade
  • Variable driver performance and driving style

To try to make it simpler we have created a simple savings calculator to reflect the typical savings available for passenger and freight rail operators:
