Filled vias are via holes that are completely filled and closed with conductive or non-conductive material or copper plating. The filled via is one of the many realizations of PCB via covering, specified by industry standards. This article covers the definition, benefits, processes, applications, and challenges of filled vias.

Railways are more energy-efficient than other modes of passenger transportation, with CO₂ emissions per ton-kilometer roughly one-seventh those of passenger cars. The difference is more pronounced over long distances, and high-speed railway networks contribute substantially to energy savings in transport infrastructure.
