Railenergy – Innovative Integrated Energy Efficiency Solutions for Railway Rolling Stock, Rail Infrastructure and Train Operation is an integrated research project which aims at reducing the energy consumption in the entire railway system by 6% until 2020.
The project partners are investigating and validating solutions ranging from the introduction of innovative traction technologies, components and layouts to the development of rolling stock, operation and infrastructure management strategies.
Railenergy will thus contribute to the reduction of life cycle costs of the railway operation and of CO2 emissions.
