On 3 February 2010 VDS became a member of UNIFE, the Association of the European Rail Industry.
UNIFE's role is to represent its members' interests at the level of both European and international institutions and the mission of the association is to proactively develop an environment in which UNIFE members can provide competitive railway systems for increased rail traffic.
The commitment in contributing to the standardisation debate and the research of innovative products put VDS in the best condition to develop products featuring advanced technology, high reliability and full conformance to the severe regulations of railway transport applications.
