"The North American freight rail industry has been under siege lately. Gilles Roucolle presents a terrific counter to this in his exhaustive and illuminating look at the overall mobility sector. In drilling down into rail freight, he shows the importance of long-term planning and the ability to spend capital, in contrast to the stop-and-go nature that has characterized US passenger and especially potential high-speed rail. In reading this, perhaps a better future can be envisioned."

"Transformations in Mobility delivers a remarkable and comprehensive exploration of mega-trends impacting the transport sector. While Gilles Roucolle rightfully emphasizes the significance of decarbonizing transport as a major growth opportunity for the rail industry, what truly distinguishes this book is not just his wealth of experience but also the insights and perspective provided by 30 of the most influential leaders in mobility.
