Sustainable Competitive Digital Green Rail Freight Services

Enhancing the attractiveness and competitiveness of rail freight will also increase the  greening of European logistic and its resilience, by improving capacity, cross-border operations, and multimodal customer services. An essential enabler is the Digital Automatic Coupler (DAC) together with the implementation of full digital rail freight train and integrated / seamless rail freight operations.

  • WS1: full digital Freight Train Operations with DAC as an enabler
  • WS2: Seamless Freight with easy access and reliable (intermodal) transport service offering digital solutions
