Refinancing Eurostar’s high-speed rail network
Rabobank played a key role refinancing the high-speed rail network for Eurostar Group, merging the facilities of the former Thalys and Eurostar entities.
As 2025 approaches, there will continue to be an increasing demand for sustainable travel. It is high-speed electric rail that is anticipated to play a significant role in reducing carbon emissions. An exciting time for both Eurostar and Rabobank, with trains set to replace short-haul flights.
“High-speed electric rail will play a significant role in reducing carbon emissions.”
Connecting Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, Eurostar aims to double passenger numbers to 30 million travellers by 2030. To support this growth, Eurostar has announced plans to invest in 50 new high-speed trains, setting a new standard for customer experience and comfortable travel.
A greener future
It’s a significant time for us to partner with Eurostar at the cusp of meeting the rising demand of sustainable travel. Our partnership is reflective of Rabobank’s desire to collaborate with partners who follow similar goals to ours. Rabobank and Eurostar are now officially on board for a greener future, together.
