UK rail transport continues to rely on diesel locomotives for short and long distance travel resulting in a contribution of circa 2% to the UK's total greenhouse gas emissions with only 38% of the UK rail network currently electrified. Fuel cells and battery-powered trains have emerged as alternatives however recent studies have highlighted overhead electrification as the next step to support long distance/high speed transit in most cases. Considering this, to meet Net-Zero emission targets by 2050, new overhead electrification infrastructure is required on 13,000km of track. Consequently, recent rates of electrification by Network Rail (NWR) of 250km/year from 2016-2020 must draw closer to the 450km/year target.In response, AUS are developing an innovative lightweight twin track cantilever system, with modular manufacture, simplified assembly and installation reducing the costly time involved on-site.

英国铁路运输继续依赖内燃机车进行短途和长途旅行，导致英国温室气体排放总量约占2%，目前英国铁路网络中只有38%实现电气化。燃料电池和电池供电的火车已经成为替代品，但最近的研究强调，在大多数情况下，架空电气化是支持长途/高速运输的下一步。考虑到这一点，为了实现到2050年的净零排放目标，需要在13，000公里的轨道上建立新的架空电气化基础设施。因此，从2016年到2020年，网络铁路（NWR）的电气化速度为250公里/年，必须接近450公里/年的目标。作为回应，澳大利亚正在开发一种创新的轻型双轨悬臂系统，其模块化制造，简化了组装和安装，减少了现场所需的昂贵时间。
