Interoperability & Modularisation Modular Interoperable

rolling stock with the ability to operate cross-border

A fully interoperable railway will boost

4 Interoperability & Modularisation Modular Interoperable Rolling Stock Producing new generations of standardised rolling stock with the ability to operate cross-border services. A fully interoperable railway will boost competitiveness within the Internal Market scale of production and cost reduction. HST - Intercity - Long-distance PT

5 MODTRAIN Definition MODTRAIN: Innovative Modular Vehicle Concepts for an Integrated European Railway System MODTRAIN background: New trains risk independent interpretations of requirements and being built from unproven prototype components. MODTRAIN objective: Definition and proof of the necessary functional, electrical and mechanical interfaces and validation procedures as reference to deliver the range of interchangeable modules that will make the next generation of intercity trains and universal locomotives possible. MODTRAIN framework: Fixed formation passenger trains and universal locomotives capable of 200 km/h and more. Hope to embrace all rolling stock as work advances.
