Transport and infrastructure

Transport and infrastructure are prerequisites for a functioning economy and prosperity. Not only goods, but also data and people become mobile using existing infrastructure. Moreover, an efficient and powerful digital infrastructure is key to realizing the opportunities offered by digitalisation – especially in rural areas. At the same time, mobility is increasingly in the area of conflict between a more climate-friendly design and the associated social effects.

We advise our clients in all relevant sub-markets of the transport and infrastructure sector, including road and rail transport, aviation, shipping, and digital infrastructure. By means of quantitative economic optimization and equilibrium models as well as econometric methods we can support our clients in all questions of interest. We also deal with all forms of new mobility providers such as transport network companies and the promotion of more eco-friendly drive technologies.
