Expleo, the global engineering and consulting services provider, has entered a strategic partnership with RailX, the UK digital platform for freight logistics, to advance the digitalisation of Europe’s inland freight sector.
The collaboration will integrate RailX’s digital freight platform with Expleo’s engineering expertise in trains, signalling, and rail operations.
The aim is to improve rail freight efficiency, ease port congestion, and support decision-making for shippers and operators.
Beyond efficiency gains, the partnership could help reduce CO2 emissions and contribute to building a low-carbon inland freight network across Europe.

Rob Hirst, Technical Director – Rail, Expleo, said: “Expleo is proud to partner with RailX and looks forward to working together to unlock the benefits of rail freight digitalisation for our clients in the UK rail sector.
“Our strategic partnership paves the way for a brighter future that not only supports industry CO2 emissions targets but will also contribute to better cost management.”
RailX’s platform provides digital booking, dynamic pricing, AI-driven planning and optimisation, live multi-modal tracking, and rail-to-road integration.
Paul Bathgate, CEO, RailX, stated: “Combining RailX’s market-tested freight logistics technology with Expleo’s scale, expertise and delivery capability has great potential to drive innovation in the sector.
“Together, we will transform how inland freight moves across Europe by boosting rail capacity, improving service reliability and making data-driven inland transport for shippers and operators a reality.”
In December 2025, Türkiye’s first intermodal terminal, Railport, officially commenced operations, marking a major milestone for the Turkish logistics sector and the Port of Duisburg.
