The CEO of Hitachi Rail Group, Giuseppe Marino, tries to build a high-speed rail in the United States

Good morning. Many CEOs are visibly intensifying in the United States at the moment. Technological leaders were impatient to place investments at the House’s White House dinner last week and I met a number of world CEOs announcing new commitments to create American jobs.
Of course, it is more interesting to see real projects than promises that may not pass. Last week, I spoke to Giuseppe Marino, CEO of the Hitachi Rail group, who is in Hagerstown, Maryland, today for the official opening of the $ 100 million digital experience center based in London.
It is an intelligent bet for a company that passes its objective of building trains to construction systems such as advanced signaling and a “digital twin” platform, which railway customers can use to optimize their networks. Hitachi Rail represented around 12% of the $ 66.4 billion in Japanese parent Hitachi revenues last year and almost 8.5% of its $ 7.8 billion in adjusted Ebitda. It is a small but growing actor in the American rail industry, compared to competitors like Wabtec, Siemens and Alstom, with a particular force in the rail of urban passengers, which faces pressure on the political front, even if the transport of goods is booming. (The Trump administration has drawn funding for rail transport and high -speed public transport, and of course, it is difficult for rail manufacturers to import the components they need to build products.)
However, Marino is optimistic, saying that her business is at the “intersection of the energy transition and the digital transition” in a period when the value proposal of the policy transcends.
“The United States has historically invested more in road innovation than passenger rails … But I think it changes,” explains Marino. Among other things, he maintains that “rail is essential to lasting efficiency” and that high -speed rail “revolutionizes Europe”. Adds Marino: “We are convinced that we can bring this technology here.” And, of course, “create American jobs”. As for me, I am in Park City, Utah, with many of my Fortune colleagues and senior technological leaders for Fortune Brainstorm tech, which you can broadcast here. I’m going to share more of our conversations – on the stage and out of the place this week.
