High-Level Deployment Group
The EU-Rail Deployment Group consists of a high-level Group, which is complemented on an ad-hoc basis by dedicated groups on specific topics requiring additional expertise. In addition to the High-level Deployment group (HL-DpG), in 2025 a subgroup on FRMCS Deployment was created: FRMCS European Deployment Group. European rail representatives, such as Infrastructure Managers or Rail Operators, and suppliers will be involved to advise EU-Rail on a coordinated and integrated deployment. The Deployment Group’s composition reflects its openness and guarantees an appropriate thematic focus and representativeness.
