Vincent Ducrot took over the management of SBB from Andreas Meyer on April 1, in the midst of a coronavirus crisis. He chose the framework of the workshops of Yverdon-les-Bains to mark the first hundred days spent at the head of the national operator. It is a way of paying tribute to the staff, who occupy a very important place in their strategy.
“Developing people is my hobby,” he said when he announced a recruiting and training program for locomotive engineers. There was a shortage. The situation remains tense this summer. But the economic crisis makes it easier to get involved. In the fall, 340 mechanics will be in training, which represents 10% of the workforce. He also wants them to be familiar with several types of vehicles and to be able to use them both on the mainline network and on the RER.
