AERRL and ELL call for a smarter approach to digital rail deployment!
NewsLocomotives in 2025 are still struggling to make it across EU borders. Why?
💡Only 15% of EU rail infrastructure is equipped with ETCS — and even that is totally fragmented. Frequent software changes force costly retrofits every few years. Cross-border rail remains inefficient.
At ELL, we support our industry association AERRL in calling for a smarter approach to digital rail deployment.
What’s needed now:
🔹 A stable rollout of ETCS Baseline 3.4 – valid for 10+ years
🔹 Aligned infrastructure and onboard planning
🔹 Compatibility with FRMCS, without repeating past mistakes
🔹 A coordinated EU-wide deployment strategy
We need fewer system changes, more interoperability — and smarter regulation to protect fleet investments.
