About ECORailS

The project ECORailS - Energy efficiency and environmental criteria in the awarding of regional rail transport vehicles and services - targets on the development of a decision support for Public Transport Administrations (PTA's) issuing energy efficient and environmental friendly awarding:

Main output will be a manual for PTA's for including energy-efficiency criteria in their awarding procedures.
Elaboration of a set of environmental criteria for services, rolling stock, and infrastructure management, basing on results of previous technology projects
Definition of text modules useable by PTA's to be used in EU member states
Test of the guidelines in four regional sites (Berlin, Øresund, Brescia, Timisoara)

The ECORailS consortium consists of ten political or research organisations/institutions and 4 PTA's from six countries (Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Sweden).
