Dear exhibitors and trade visitors, For several months we have been experiencing a new and most challenging situation for all of us. Life and work as we Signal for take-off – overwhelming have known it up to now has significantly changed. As a result of the decree of the Senate of Berlin, Messe Berlin is therefore unable to hold InnoTrans as planned from 22 – 25 September 2020. support for the new InnoTrans date We regret this very much, as we were all in the middle of our preparations for InnoTrans and, after two years, were all looking forward to meeting you again. As the largest international “family gathering” for mobility, we know how important InnoTrans is for you and your company. At the same time we all need some sort of planning security. Therefore, we have worked in close consultation with the founding associations and international market leaders to find an adequate solution for everyone involved. As an international platform for mobility, InnoTrans will welcome visitors from all over the world to Berlin in April 2021.

THEME In Focus Tunnel Tunnels to connect people Construction They are important components of the railway infrastructure, both in long-distance and freight transport as well as in metro systems – tunnels. Their construction is always a challenge – in urban areas due to the transmission of vibrations generated during construction as well as in uninhabited areas with geological peculiarities. There are also some operational issues to be considered.

In particularly sultry and hot areas with high humidity, however, passengers often want a clearly notice- able cooling effect with a high level of air circulation. And since the systems can be operated with the almost cli- mate-neutral refrigerant CO2 (R744), they offer an additional contribution to environmental protection.
