Article 15 (Principle of transparency) of the EU-Rail financial rules states that the JU shall make available on its internet site no later than 30 June of the following financial year information on the recipients of funds deriving from its budget.
EU-Rail’s Innovation Pillar (IP) is tasked to deliver operational and technological solutions that contribute to a more efficient, flexible, and demand-led, yet safe and environmentally sustainable European railway system.
The System Pillar provides governance, resource, and outputs to support a coherent and coordinated approach to the evolution of the rail system and the development of the system view.
The Deployment Group advises the EU-Rail Governing Board on the market uptake of rail innovation developments and support their deployment.
For a successful and effective implementation of the Digital Automatic Coupler for European rail freight (DAC), it is of crucial importance to have open, close and efficient cooperation between rail stakeholders. The European DAC Delivery Programme enabled by Europe’s Rail, offers a unique European platform for such cooperation and collaboration.
Discover how Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking is calling for a bold, coordinated investment strategy to simplify and modernise rail systems across the EU. This public-private partnership model – outlined in our High-Level Paper – proposes an €18 billion investment from 2028 to 2034 to strengthen European competitiveness, deliver greener transport, and drive technological sovereignty.
Discover detailed information on Europe's rail innovation initiatives, showcasing flagship and other projects aimed at enhancing rail systems across Europe. It highlights collaborative efforts funded by the European Union to develop sustainable, efficient, and competitive rail transport solutions.
Europe’s Rail Catalogue of Solutions illustrates successful R&I results in the form of possible products and solutions, while highlighting the benefits for final users, operators, infrastructure managers and/or suppliers. This publication also outlines the advantages of integrating demonstrators into market solutions so that they can deliver the rail innovation Capabilities of the future.
To achieve the operational outcomes targeted in this Flagship Area, several technical capabilities were identified by FP6. To develop flagship demonstrations, some functions must be delivered with enough maturity, with a target TRL indicated for each enabler.
FP6 | TE 1 | CCS develop an application for a cost-efficient performant control command and signalling system including:
ATO over ETCS adapted to regional operations hybrid train detection and moving block |
FP6 | TE 2 | CCS Develop a Operations Control Centre (OCC) covering interlocking, radio blocking and traffic management for regional lines not connected with mainline |
FP6 | TE 3 | Asset Develop infrastructure components and wayside elements which are energy self-sufficient and/or wireless enabled as well as Smart Wayside Object Controller (SWOC) |
FP6 | TE 4 | Rolling Stock Concept of modular light-weight vehicle and/or with alternative propulsion system |
FP6 | TE 5 | Rolling Stock Develop a concept for alternative fuelling/charging stations |
FP6 | TE 6 | Customer service Develop cost-efficient integration of on-board information of multimodal services |
FP6 | TE 7 | Customer service develop passenger congestion rate monitoring, flow optimization application as well as a low-cost passenger information system |
