This Project is fully addressing the HORIZON-ER-JU-2022-FA4-01 call for project.
It’s scope of work is covering the Sustainable and green rail systems including rolling stocks, infrastructures, stations
and all of their related sub-systems.
The objectives are to significantly progress on several families of Key Performance Indicators on different fields :
technical ,environmental, economical, standardisation.
The decarbonisation of Diesel trains, noise and vibration reduction, energy savings, circular economy, resource
consumption, resilience to climate change and pandemic attack, attractiveness of passenger trains are at the heart of the
proposed project.
The Project is identifying the precise needs of operators including implicitly the European public policies of sustainable transports, including Climate Neutral Europe for 2050. It provides the needed scientific and technical solutions via the development and demonstrations (up to TRL7) of new solutions increasing drastically the environmental performances of the railway holistic system. These new solutions will be proposed (at the end of the project in 2026) while verifying that they have viable economic models ensuring a rapid commercialization for the benefit of European citizens.
The project will quantify its 5 Project KPIs progress once a year.
