Presentation 6 of 8 from Horizon 2020 for Rail event held 8th Nov 2013. The calls for research being made under the rail heading in the surface transport work programme for 2014 - New generation of rail vehicles (enhanced functionality, comfort, operational performance; reduced whole life cost of vehicles by improved reliability, reduced energy consumption and increased capacity)

1. Sustainable Mobility

3. The role of transport modes
1. In Europe Transport GHG Emissions have increased
about in line with passenger car and air traffic

2. Electrical rail is much more CO2 efficient than
other modes and has other environmental benefits

The European Transportation White Paper (March
2011) targets reducing transport CO2 emissions 60 %
by 2050
Transport needs multi-mode approach, there’s a lot to improve
