VPI annual report 2024/25 on the activities of the association and developments in the sector 

We have good numbers to report: Over 300 companies are now coordinated by VPI. The number of users of the VPI-EMG, the core product of our service company VERS, has grown to 600 across Europe, and the network of technically assessed workshops has developed into a dense mesh of over 300 companies. We invite you to read our annual report to learn more about our attractive range of services and the industry initiatives we have launched over the past year. Here we’ll mention just two: the successful expansion of our one-stop-shop concept for certifications and our engagement in the EU project DACFIT.
Once again in this year’s report we also take a look at economic developments and trends in railway freight traffic. After all, the 2024/25 reporting year saw a number of significant political developments with noticeable impacts on our industry – and not always for the better. Alongside concise figures and assessments, you will also find two guest articles from industry experts.
