OUR WORKING GROUPS

In order to convey properly the aims of our members and to facilitate the achievement of the objectives of our association, we propose the creation of three working groups.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The development of railway infrastructures in the European Union (particularly in the Core Network) and also in neighbouring countries and even in the Euro-Asian scenario in order to facilitate the passage of freight trains according to current potential demand and taking into account the postulates of the “FERRMED Standards”.

OPERATIONS

Harmonization and simplification of processes, rates, path allocation, free competition with non-discriminatory access to lines, traceability, unification of management in order to facilitate the passage of freight trains with an appropriate level of quality at competitive cost levels and an optimization of the intermodal process.

ROLLING STOCK

The development of railway rolling stock (locomotives, wagons and other related rolling material) in order to improve performance and make freight traffic more profitable, safer, more efficient, more compatible with intermodality and more respectful to the environment in the European Union and in neighbouring countries.
