ROLL2RAIL NEW DEPENDABLE ROLLING STOCK FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE, INTELLIGENT AND COMFORTABLE RAIL TRANSPORT IN EUROPE
Coordinator: UNION DES INDUSTRIES FERROVIAIRES EUROPEENNES - UNIFE (BE)
The ROLL2RAIL project aims to develop key technologies and to remove already identified blocking points for radical innovation in the field of railway vehicles, as part of a longer term strategy to revolutionise the rolling stock for the future.The high level objectives of the work are to pave the way to:• Increase the capacity of the railway system and bring flexibility to adapt capacity to demand• Increase availability, operational reliability and therefore punctuality of the vehicles• Reduce the life cycle costs of the vehicle and the track• Increase the energy efficiency of the system• Im…
About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)
Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.
EU contribution: €16.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 2.5 years from 2015-05-01 to 2017-10-31.
