Key points

  • The rail supply industry is a key driver for European jobs, innovation, and achieving climate targets.
  • European companies face unfair competition from third countries, such as China, which often provide heavy state support to their industries.
  • Market fragmentation within the EU makes it difficult and expensive for smaller companies to operate across borders.
  • Innovation efforts should focus on digitalization, such as automation and cybersecurity, and increasing energy efficiency.
