On the 4th of October our member ÖBB hosted the two internal events DAC4STAFF and DAC4STAKEHOLDERS at the Kledering shunting yard in Vienna. In addition to live demonstrations with the DAC4EU train on the hump, information was provided on the progress in FP5-TRANS4M-R and other national and European DAC projects (DAC4EU, European DAC Delivery Programme EDDP). The event in the morning was aimed at the company's own employees and in the afternoon stakeholders such as the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology, the Austrian Chamber of Commerce, and other industry partners were invited. Another DAC4STAFF event at Villach Süd shunting yard will be hosted on the 12th of October. 

The events are hosted in collaboration with DAC4EU, ER JU FP5 and EDDP.

The ORF reported on the event and the introduction of the DAC on the radio and television (in german).
