Coordinated investment should be concentrated on a limited number of corridors showing the highest growth in traffic volumes

North/south axis (+36%*)

– Long-distance shipments, e.g. from northern and western seaports

West axis (+62%*)

– Potential for increase in rail‘s modal split

– Extension of Spanish corridor (e.g. automotive)

East axis (+69%*)

– Potential in EU accession countries

– Establishment of land bridge to Asia

Southeast European axis (+68%*)

– Potential in EU accession countries

– Link to Turkish corridor

Expected growth in volume 2004-2025

International rail transport suffers from numerous barriers. Example Opel Eisenach – Grisen (ES)

Einsiedlerhof

Cerbere

Forbach

Inter-plant shipment ESA-ZAR

Eisenach

Bochum

Grisen

Zaragoza Pl.

Inbound components

Inter-plant shipment in Germany

International rail transport between Germany and Spain

Example: Inbound automotive logistics for Opel Time sensitive transports with high quality

standards Eisenach – Cerbere – Zaragoza/Grisen

Barriers on the relation example A suffered delay > 60 minutes in Germany causes

a loss of path in Forbach and results in a 24 hour delay

A loss of path in France leads to new train number (= number of new path) that complicates train identification

At German/French border a lamp has to be installed at the end of the train

Change of locomotive or multi-system locomotive required

Multilingual locomotive drivers required Path cancelation at short notice without automatic

offer of an alternative in France Axle-gauge changeover necessary in Cerbere Shorter max. train length in Spain (400 m). Train

has to be split

DB Schenker Rail, 21.04.23

Appropriate framework conditions should foster international rail traffic growth and promote a higher rail freight share

Infrastructure

High-capacity European rail infrastructure to handle growing transport volumes and to take over goods from road

– TEN -T Network

– ERTMS-corridors

– Priority Rail Freight Network Support capital intensive

fields, e.g. interfaces between different transport modes

– Seaport hinterland

– Combined traffic terminals Effective government support

for rapid ETCS implementation

Effective competition

European standards for technical interoperability and operational rules

Longer and heavier trains (min. 750 m, 1.000 tons)

Acceleration of homologation procedures (cross-acceptance)

Facilitation of border procedures

Guarantee entrepreneurial responsibility for IT systems and data exchange

European standards

Effective market opening in all member states

– Anti competitive practices in some Member States deter competition

Guarantee non-discriminatory market access

Establishment of a comparable regulatory level

– Independent decisions

– Sufficient human and financial resources
