French technology firm Moment has emerged as a major force in the European rail sector, providing onboard digital infotainment services for more than 500 trainsets across the continent. Known for its strong technical expertise and personalised content solutions, Moment is helping reshape the passenger experience in a fast-evolving travel industry.
The company now reaches over 135 million passengers annually through its digital entertainment platform. Its client portfolio includes several leading rail operators such as TGV Inoui, OUIGO France and Spain, Lyria, Intercités, SNCF Grand Voyageur lounges, and a new partnership expected to be announced shortly.
A digital platform for connected travel
Moment’s offering is built around a mobile-accessible infotainment platform that enables passengers to enjoy a wide range of content and services directly from their personal devices. The system operates alongside available onboard Wi-Fi and is designed to remain accessible throughout the journey, with preloaded content stored securely on onboard servers.
Passengers can enjoy films, documentaries, games, music and news offline, with the platform optimised for mobile usability—offering features such as mini-players, fast loading times, and a dark mode for ease of reading. Operators can further customise the system to include modules such as journey updates, onboard catering menus, digital retail services, and advertising placements.
“In a transport sector undergoing major transformation, delivering high-quality digital services to passengers with elevated expectations is crucial,” said Tanguy Morel, Moment CEO and Co-founder. “Moment works hand in hand with operators to develop iconic passenger experiences featuring an evolving range of services, from entertainment to shopping and information, meeting the needs of all passenger profiles. The agility of our technology provides a reliable solution.”
Supporting a changing rail landscape
The company’s success comes amid broader shifts in European rail, as travel demand surges and operators seek to deliver more attractive, sustainable alternatives to air and road transport. Rail is increasingly seen as a key component of ‘slow tourism’, where the journey forms part of the experience.
Forecasts suggest the global rail market will exceed EUR 436 billion by 2030, spurred by growing public demand, post-pandemic recovery, and technological investment. France, in particular, is undergoing significant rail reform with the launch of new regional routes and a competitive push in the national market, encouraging innovation and enhancing customer service.
Moment, which also has a strong presence in the aviation sector, is positioning itself to support this shift through tailored, high-quality onboard experiences. Its modular, flexible platform allows operators to differentiate themselves with immersive services aimed at modern, connected travellers.
Beyond Europe, the company is expanding its international footprint with new offices in Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, Singapore and Miami.
