 +Germany's railway sector is undergoing a long-term modernisation process aimed at making electricity the main energy source for rail transports. Use of electricity, instead of diesel fuel, to power locomotives has been continually increased, and electricity now provides over 80% of all railway traction power. Railways' power stations for generation of traction current are allocated to the stationary component of the energy sector (1.A.1.a) and are not included in the following. In energy input for trains of German railways, diesel fuel is the only energy source that plays a significant role apart from electric power.
