The FS Italiane Group is at the centre of the country’s mobility system, playing a key role in Italy’s relaunch and development through the integration of diverse infrastructures and modes of transport, all in the pursuit of sustainability.

With more than 92,000 employees, over 10,000 trains per day, 1 billion passengers travelling by train and bus each year and 45 million tonnes of freight transported annually, Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane is a leader in passenger and freight transport by rail.

The railway network operated by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana extends 16,800 kilometres, of which around 700 kilometres are dedicated to High Speed services. The Group also operates a road network of around 32,000 kilometres. International trends and the evolving context require a strong discontinuity and the adoption of a 10-year strategy that considers new projects throughout their full lifecycle — from design to realisation.

This ten-year horizon will enable the Group to address the major challenges that lie ahead, starting with a new and evolving demand for passenger mobility and a more efficient logistics chain to support the modal shift towards rail.

Moreover, the Group must operate in a context of rising inflation, the need to develop and recover critical professional skills, and increasingly extreme weather events that highlight the importance of environmental sustainability, infrastructure maintenance and resilience, alongside the growing relevance of digitalisation and connectivity in infrastructure.

The redefinition of governance and the organisational review of the FS Group are key prerequisites to achieving the challenging objectives set by Ferrovie dello Stato. The new organisational structure aims to enhance the potential of the various Group companies and their synergies.
