ERA’s Economic Steering Group (ESG) and the ERA Management Team (MT) asked the Agency’s Analysis Team to perform a study on the European rolling stock fleet covering a wide range of technical and economic topics. The main goal of this study is to improve insights into the characteristics of the European rolling stock fleet that impact interoperability by creating enriched vehicle, type and keeper datasets. The subgoals are to provide answers to specific questions regarding the characteristics of the fleet and related aspects (e.g. keeper governance, future fleet needs). This report provides an overview of the applied methods and results. Additionally, it identifies methodological, definitional and resource gaps that need to be addressed.
