The Challenges• Fragmented history
• Legacy of gauges, standards and systems
• State focused governance
• Diverse standards by state, market and customer boundaries
• Slow rates of innovation
• Global economic landscape
• Rising markets in Asia Pacific region
![Page 7: Clara Tether - CMT Solutions - Standards development A practical review of the Turnouts and Other Special Trackworks national standard](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051314/558949ded8b42a186d8b45e9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Growth Opportunities
• Demand for urban and regional
passenger services
• High speed rail
• Energy and carbon efficiencies of rail
• Growth in mining sector
• Light rail in all major cities
• Heavy haul to support the resource sector
