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 other forms of
traction as work advances.

the costs for Infrastructure Managers
regarding construction of new lines,
renewals and maintenance
•
Therefore the most modern technique
is used in INNOTRACK including
RAMS and LCC
•
The target is to achieve 30%
decrease reduction of costs over the
lifecycle in a systematic and
sustainable way
•
After INNOTRACK the industry and
the Infrastructure Managers have a
common accepted European
methodology

Railenergy Project
Mission Statement
• The overall objective of Railenergy is to cut the energy
consumption in the railway system thus contributing to the
reduction of life cycle costs of railway operation and of
CO2 emission.
• The project target is to achieve a 6% reduction of the
specific energy consumption of the rail system by 2020.
• This is done by addressing the energy efficiency of the
integrated railway system and to investigate and validate
solutions ranging from the introduction of innovative
traction technologies, components and layouts to the
development of rolling stock, operation and infrastructure
management strategies.
SIAFI, Paris, 25.04.2007
An Integrated Approach
• Background: The 3 largest European networks are spending
€1.75 Billion on energy (20% increase last year!)
• Inter-relationship of railway sub-systems is highly complex,
especially with regard to assessing their consumption of energy
• Therefore, a fully integrated approach is the only way to
achieve true energy savings
• Generate new validation standards for the energy performance of
products and services and contribute to the European
harmonisation process

MANAGEMENT, ROLLING STOCK, INFRASTRUCTURE
and OVERALL PERFORMANCE.
• Competitiveness of the business process today is to be able to
make the best use of the RIGHT INFORMATION at the RIGHT
MOMENT at the RIGHT LEVEL:
–
–
–
–
–
To distribute and share information
To assist in taking preventive or reactive decision
To improve automation
To reduce cost of engineering or cost of use
To develop added value services for RU/IM and passengers
