Helvetia Insurance strengthens commitment to the Railway Industry by joining the Rail Working Group

As an internationally active insurance group, Helvetia offers – among others – tailored insurance solutions across Engineering/Technical, Transport/Marine, Aviation, Space, and Art – both within Switzerland and in international markets such as Asia and Latin America.

In the field of Technical Insurance, Helvetia holds a longstanding and trusted rolling stock portfolio positioning it among Switzerland’s leading providers of rolling stock and infrastructure insurance. This portfolio continues to expand across the European Economic Area.

Driven by the work of the Rail Working Group (RWG), Helvetia is committed to supporting the expansion of climate-friendly rail transport.

A key element of this commitment is the understanding and coverage of technical risks, which play a significant role in determining insurance premiums. The adoption of the URVIS numbering system and its digital platform provides new opportunities for risk assessment and transparency in relation to rolling stock – with positive effects for the entire industry.

Helvetia is proud to actively contribute, together with the members of the Rail Working Group, to the further development of the railway industry based on the Rail Protocol.
