| Description of programme "Shift2Rail " |
Shift2Rail fosters the introduction of better trains to the market, which operate on an innovative rail network infrastructure
at a lower life-cycle cost, with more capacity to cope with growing passenger and freight mobility demand. All this are developed
by European companies, thereby increasing their competitiveness in the global marketplace. Shift2Rail also contributes to
the paradigm for the modal shift to attract users to rail. For EU passengers, this represents more travel options, more comfort

shipment option.
