The document discusses the Vectron locomotive, which was designed to meet the changing needs of rail transport across Europe. It can operate on all continental European corridors and overcome barriers through powerful variants that support different voltage systems and train protection systems. The locomotive is highly flexible and adaptable through modular design, allowing operators to configure it precisely for their network and traffic requirements. It is interoperable throughout Europe and helps enable efficient cross-border freight transport.
ERTMS Fact Sheet 18 - ERTMS deployment in SwedenUNIFE2012
The adoption of ERTMS marks a significant technology shift for Swedish railwayoperators. It means that Sweden is now well positioned to gain from increased competitiveness and is taking a major step towards improved cross-border operations and interoperability, reduced journey times, as well as cutting Sweden’s carbon footprint. Sweden also constitutes a key section of Corridor B. This section of line is expected to be appropriately fitted before 2020.

ERTMS Fact Sheet 2 -The ERTMS memorandum of understandingUNIFE2012
On 4th July 2008, the European Commission and the representatives of the European Railway sector signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) concerning the strengthening of cooperation for speeding up the deployment of ERTMS. This document now forms the basis of the long term commitment of all stakeholders - the rail industry, infrastructure managers, railway undertakings and EU institutions - to deploy ERTMS along the European railway network.

Today, railway operations in several parts of the world and in Europe in particular require a constant and increasingly intense flow of trains on busy routes. By allowing a reduction of headways between trains, signalling systems play a major role in increasing capacity on railway networks, as more trains can run on the same track. Whilst the primary objective behind its creation was to ensure interoperability in Europe, ERTMS also offers considerable benefits in terms of infrastructure capacity, which explain its increasing success outside Europe.

ERTMS Fact Sheet 1 - From trucks to trainsUNIFE2012
Rail transport offers very significant advantages in environmental terms but road freight still dominates the inland freight transport market with a market share of more than 70% in the European Union against a figure of 17% for rail. By ensuring interoperability on the European rail network, ERTMS helps the railway sector to position itself as a true competitor to roads by enabling significant line traffic capacitay increase and promoting cost reduction which will subsequently introduce significant environmental benefits.

THE LONG JOURNEY TO AN INTEROPERABLE RAILWAY SYSTEM
As early as the 1990s, the European Rail Industry, with the backing of the EU Institutions, embarked into the creation of a common signalling system for Europe. Over time, ERTMS emerged as one of the most successful European industrial projects and is now on its way to making rail transport a more competitive transport mode.

ERTMS Fact Sheet 14 - ERTMS deployment in the UKUNIFE2012
Although geographically distant from Central Europe’s freight hubs, the UK is gradually launching major ERTMS investments as part of an ambitious program to revitalise national railway traffic. In a country with a long history of conventional signalling systems and train operations, the introduction of a major re-signalling program raises some exciting challenges. Whilst ERTMS Level 2 first entered into
service in March 2011 on the Cambrian line, railway authorities are now pushing for a larger deployment scheme, which would allow to increase capacity and performance on Britain’s railway lines and contribute to economic growth.

The ERTMS/ETCS application “levels” define different uses of ERTMS as a train control system, ranging from track to train communications (Level 1) to continuous communications between the train and the radio block centre (Level 2). Level 3, which is in a conceptual phase, will further increase ERTMS’ potential by introducing a “moving block” technology. Whilst it is commonly acknowledged that to date, ERTMS level 2 offers considerable benefits, the use of level 1 already brings significant advantages for the railways and allows for High Speed travel.

With liberalized markets, widely varying

be more flexible than ever. New paths
are needed – both in terms of ideas and
geography.
Vectron – the new locomotives for those who want to – and
have to – meet Europe’s current and future requirements and
transportation needs. Vectron was developed based on infor-
mation from interviews with many different operators, and on
experience gained from more than 1,600 Eurosprinters and
Eurorunners in operation. Ensured viability into the future, in-
vestment security, environmental compatibility and fungibility
were most important to operators. Vectron responds to these
needs by combining proven strengths with future-oriented
strategies and innovations. Come aboard and discover the
locomotive that forges new paths – to ensure a successful
future for your freight, regional or intercity traffic.
