More than 50,000 rail vehicles authorised


Europe’s 4th Railway Package has been a major step forward for creating the Single European Railway Area. With this legislative package, the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) has received the permit to issue vehicle authorisations in the EU.

 

Between June 2019 and April 2023, ERA authorised more than 50,000 vehicles. It has now become the main rail vehicle authoriser in the EU, with a share close to 60% of all applications.

 

Almost 83% of the authorisations issued by the agency were for wagons, around 11% for trainsets and coaches, close to 6% for locomotives, and around 0.2% for special vehicles. Up to 54% of the authorisations processed by ERA are for rail vehicles operating in all EU member states. (ben)
