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 and improved punctuality. For freight forwarder/shippers, rail freight offers a more cost-effective,
punctual and traceable shipment option.
Shift2Rail contributes to:
- Cutting the life-cycle cost of railway transports by as much as 50%
- Doubling railway capacity
- Increasing reliability and punctuality by as much as 50%
