Driving the next-generation of sustainable transport solutions

Shaping the future of mobility through decarbonisation and innovation

As a global leader in sustainable mobility solutions, Equans is driving the transformation of transport through decarbonisation and digital innovation. We work with stakeholders that span the entire value chain of all modes of transport - rail, road, air, maritime and urban - to develop greener, safer and more efficient transport systems. 

At the forefront of decarbonisation, we deploy electric power units, EV charging stations and renewable energy sources that reduce carbon emissions across the mobility spectrum. Working in close partnership with our clients, we design bespoke strategies to help transport operators reduce energy consumption and achieve net-zero targets without compromising outcomes.

Performance and safety are the heart of our approach. Our advanced technologies, such as smart tracking, route optimisation and connected vehicles, enhance transport operations and logistics, while reducing costs, improving service reliability and the user experience. Our intelligent monitoring and predictive maintenance solutions ensure safe and resilient transport networks.  

Our Areas of operation

Elevating airport experience

Airport transport and facility management

Equans’ expertise in managing and maintaining critical assets enables the seamless operation of airport facilities, reducing downtime and improving overall efficiency. We provide essential facility management systems such as baggage handling, energy management and security solutions. We also integrate intelligent systems to streamline passenger flow and optimise energy use, minimising operational disruption and reducing the environmental impact of airport operations.

Rail transport

From urban tramways to intercity railways, Equans specialises in the modernisation, electrification, management and maintenance of rail networks. By optimising energy use and leveraging the latest digital technologies, we improve operational efficiency and safety across the rail transport sector. Our SOCRAT system takes this a step further by enabling remote control and real-time monitoring of catenary tensioning equipment. This increases efficiency and safety by quickly identifying potential faults and ground movements, allowing operators to take immediate action.

Road transport

Equans plays a key role in driving forward The Electric Road System project for electric highways to overcome the challenges posed by the weight and cost of batteries. Trucks will be able to recharge while driving, reducing both downtime and carbon emissions. Equans is also accelerating the deployment of fast-charging infrastructure, smart road and urban management systems, as well as onboard connectivity for electric vehicles. 

Urban transport

Our urban transport solutions include integrating electric vehicles, developing smart charging systems and improving traffic flow management to create more efficient and sustainable cities. Navineo’s computer-aided dispatch and automatic vehicle location (CAD/AVL) system uses advanced data analytics to fine-tune public transport services.
