TELT’s railway experts took part in the 2025 edition of SIFER, the international railway industry exhibition held in Lille from 24 to 26 June. The event brought together over 300 exhibitors and 7,000 visitors, with three major themes at the heart of this edition: digital transformation, automation, decarbonisation and sustainability.

The binational public promoter presented the progress of the cross-border section of the Lyon–Turin line and the next steps ahead. During a dedicated conference session, Xavier Baumgard, CO12 project manager, and Sylvain Bronner, CO12 activity manager, presented the technical specifications of the ongoing CO12 tender, covering railway systems and maintenance for the cross-border section.

Their presentation shed light on the engineering challenges of this strategic contract, as well as the innovative solutions envisioned for integrating systems along the entire line.

At the TELT stand, dressed for the occasion in the new graphic identity created to celebrate the company’s 10th anniversary, many visitors were able to learn about the progress of the works and engage directly with technical teams. They also had the opportunity to consult the preliminary version of the Network Statement, a first step toward commissioning the infrastructure.

Through their work in responding to the CO12 tender, many players in the railway industry are now involved in this exceptional project, as TELT begins its transition toward becoming the future binational infrastructure manager for the link between France and Italy.
