Last week, our team in Contagem inaugurated “DOJO”, a revolutionary space designed for simulating dangerous factory scenarios using practical and audiovisual methods. The interactive and dynamic environment trains employees on essential safety concepts, precautions, risks, rules, and more related to key operational hazards.

The concept and name are inspired by Japanese culture, where #DOJO, often associated with martial arts, represents a "Place for Training" and a "Path to Learning," emphasizing organization and discipline. "DO" signifies the path, and "JO" denotes learning.

“DOJO is not just a space, but a commitment to our people's safety and the security of our operations. It's a significant investment aligned with our #PeopleFirst core value. This project reflects our dedication to making a positive impact on our employees, their families, and the communities where they live. DOJO is our transformative space, shaping future generations." – Leone Brandão, Safety Engineer.

We are proud to share that Trip Optimizer™, our smart “cruise control system” for trains has surpassed a major milestone as railroads used the energy-management software to efficiently operate their trains for more than 1 billion miles. That’s the equivalent of more than 40,000 trips around the Earth. Along the way, the 12,000 locomotives worldwide using Trip Optimizer accounted for 752 million gallons of fuel saved and 7.7 million tons of emissions reductions.

"This billion-mile accomplishment is a tribute to our customers and our team of innovators,” said Nalin Jain, President of Wabtec Digital Intelligence. “Trip Optimizer has become an integral locomotive operating system and an industry standard for railroads to efficiently manage the performance of their trains. It is building upon the rail industry’s leadership as the most efficient mode of transporting goods by enabling railroads to significantly cut down on unnecessary fuel consumption, minimize emissions, and optimize their travel routes.”

That's 1 billion miles, and counting…
