2 SHIFT²RAIL: what is it? A proposal for an ambitious large-scale, industrially-driven and multiannual research programme that aims at helping EU rail industry to retain world leadership A public-private Joint Undertaking under Horizon 2020 Estimated budget between 800 million and 1 billion Euros over a six to seven year period Official proposal submitted to the European Commission in July 2012 & Addendum sent in January 2013 Consortium ready to establish the Joint Undertaking and start operations as soon as 2014 Crucial need to still convince the European Commission to endorse the initiative and make a legislative proposal to set it up 2

3 SHIFT²RAIL: visions enabler Implementing Europe 2020 objectives for a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth Modal Shift & Attractiveness Competitiveness Growth & Jobs Transport White Paper for an interoperable Single European Railway Area with long-term targets for a massive shift to sustainable transport modes as rail supply industry jobs in the EU; one of the few industrial sectors in which Europe still leads the world, supplying more than 50% of the world market! 3

4 No Sustainable Development without Rail investment! Challenge: CO 2 emissions are a contributing factor to global warming CO 2 emissions from transport in the EU in 2009 (in Million tonnes) 868 Solution: Rail has the least CO 2 emissions of all modes of transport! Source: EU Transport in figures Statistical pocketbook 2012, European Commission,

5 The European Rail Industry: A key economic sector for Europe A wide range of rail manufacturers Rolling stock & System integrators Signalling Railway Infrastructure Sub-systems Present in almost all EU Member States Large geographical coverage (industrial production plants, clusters, SMEs, specialised Universities and Research institutes) Job creating direct and indirect jobs in the EU World leader Supplying more than 50% of the world market 5

6 Global competition: Opportunities and threats Major market opportunities for European companies Rail supply markets are forecast to grow at a rate of 2.6% in the world in the next 6 years An ever-fiercer competition with Asian companies (Hitachi, Japan Transport Engineering Company, Hyundai Rotem, China CNR, China CSR ) Asian countries are investing massively in R&D for their national rail industries! 6

7 SHIFT²RAIL for the competitiveness of the EU supply industry and the attractiveness of the rail mode To keep the European supply industry leadership through innovation and provide to the end users an attractive transport mode To manage research projects where committed Companies creates the necessary critical mass and investment commitment for implementation To streamline the innovation process from research to demonstration and to shorten the time-to-market for key innovations To help fighting against the fragmentation of the industrial R&I efforts and to align the entire industrial supply chain including SMEs, transport research and academic institutions, users and potential clients To enable greater transfer of knowledge from other sectors To capitalise on the rail sector s previous success in EU-funded collaborative research projects undertaken since the mid-1990s 7

8 SHIFT²RAIL Objectives: More, Better, Cheaper! Enhance CAPACITY / user demand of the European rail system SHIFT²RAIL research and innovation aims at an estimated overall increase of capacity up to 100% SHIFT²RAIL research and innovation aims at increasing user demand Consolidate the RELIABILITY / quality of service of the European rail system SHIFT²RAIL research and innovation aims at an estimated overall increase of reliability up to 50% SHIFT²RAIL research and innovation aims at increasing user satisfaction Improve on LIFE CYCLE COST / competitiveness SHIFT²RAIL research and innovation aims at an estimated overall reduction of LCC up to 50% SHIFT²RAIL research and innovation will help the European manufacturing industry to, at least, keep its market share against increasing business competition in an increasing market Impacting all segments of the rail market! Making daily life easier for millions of European passengers and rail freight users! 8

9 IP1 Energy & Mass Efficient Technologies for High Capacity Trains Develop the future generation of trains that will be lighter, more energy efficient while being able to reduce today s travelling times, causing less track damage and less impact on the environment, thereby delivering a lower whole life cost. IP5 Technologies for Sustainable & Attractive European Freight Define all technological and process breakthroughs necessary to contribute to the realisation of one of the key goals from the White Paper: 30% of road traffic switching to rail and inland waterways by 2030 and 50% by IP4: IT Solutions for a Seamless Attractive Railway Realise one of the key goals from the White Paper: By 2020, establish the framework for a European multimodal transport information, management and payment system. through the development of open IT architecture framework. SHIFT²RAIL IPs/SPDs overview R&I priorities IP2 Advanced Control & Signaling Systems Develop a new generation of signalling and control systems, building on current ERTMS, to enable intelligent traffic management with automatically driven trains and optimise capacity, reliability and minimise life costs. IP3 Cost Efficient High Capacity Infrastructure Deliver a new railway infrastructure system (including both infrastructure and energy subsystems) that provides a breakthrough which will radically improve capacity and performance and reduce costs. System management working groups across research priorities focusing on: Environment Management (Noise & Vibration, Energy, etc.), Integration Mobility Management, EMC/Interference Management, etc. 9

10 SHIFT²RAIL s Promoters Already 15 major rail stakeholders including Infrastructure Managers (NetworkRail & Trafikverket) committed to provide significant resources on the long-term to reach the S²R objectives New industrial partners are already actively collaborating in the IPs and have signed a MoU: Acciona, Amadeus Rail, AZD, Indra, MerMec, Oltis, Selex and TataSteel. Other signature i pending/expected Leading European Railway Undertaking and Infrastructure Managers are already actively participating in the IPs and ADIF, FS and SNCF have already signed a MoU. DB and PKP signature is pending/expected. Additional stakeholders are joining 10

11 The future ways of participating Participation in future R&I activities JU members Members which will commit themselves to bring resources (financial resources, human resources and/or technical means) for the full duration of the project Depending on their degree of involvement/contribution, these Members will be either: TID Members (Technology Innovation Drivers) or Associate Members Open calls for proposals A significant part of the total budget will be devoted to open calls for proposals for each IP The objective is clearly to trigger the participation of SMEs and Research Institutes through better-targeted calls Open calls for tenders 11

12 Focus on the key role Clusters, SMEs and Research Institutes will play The Innovation Programmes will provide a platform for SMEs and research institutes to bring their products to the market and put their expertise to work. The critical mass and the long-term commitment of the JU members will trigger the participation of a greater number of SMEs especially the most innovative and research institutes in EU rail research. The benefits of this mechanism on SMEs and Research Institutes have already been demonstrated in existing JTIs. There are already 5 existing JTIs launched in 2008: CleanSky for Aeronautics ARTEMIS for Embedded Computing Systems ENIAC for Nanoelectronics IMI for Innovative Medicines FCH for Fuel Cells and Hydrogen A substantial part of the JTI budget will be allocated to that scope. The ones wishing to contribute to SHIFT²RAIL technological innovations will be able to respond individually or in partnerships, to JTI specialised calls, becoming JTI partners. Ongoing exchanges with EURNEX and European Clusters of SMEs (ERCI) 12

13 SHIFT²RAIL: Time to concretise Official proposal submitted to the European Commission in July 2012 & Addendum sent in January 2013 Discussions with the European Commission EC for next steps: high level meetings are ongoing / planned. Continuous work to improve the proposal with the precious input of new promoters and the identification of companies specific priorities (leadership) ongoing. The consortium is ready to establish the Joint Undertaking as soon as possible and start R&I as 2014 Continuous information campaign towards MEPs and national Governments to seek their essential support ERRAC strong support with the Pre-Requirements group and evident alignment with ERRAC objectives for a full general endorsement 13

14 Work is continuing on a joint industry-commission research platform SHIFT²RAIL, which will be a key element in driving innovation in the years to come [ ] I am committed on working with you to deliver this Commissioner Siim Kallas, European Railway Award, 26 February 2013 I want the transport industry to be a leading player in Horizon As the backbone of an integrated, mobile economy, and with a major role to play in tackling many of our societal challenges, I would not settle for anything less! The good news is that Europe already leads in many areas, including high speed rail, efficient trains and intelligent transport systems. But we're lagging behind our competitors in other crucial areas. Commissioner for Research M.Geoghegan-Quinn,Hannover, 11/4/13 The European Commission will work with the Industry to make the SHIFT²RAIL Joint Undertaking a reality under Horizon 2020 Jean-Eric Paquet, Director at DG MOVE, Hearing at the European Economic and Social Committee, 24 April 2013 The SHIFT²RAIL initiative would contribute to developing rail as a transport mode by promoting stepchange innovations for passenger rolling stock, freight transport, traffic management systems and rail infrastructure European Commission, Communication on the Fourth Railway Package, 30 January
