about our association
The purpose of AERRL is to promote interoperable, sustainable, efficient and safe passenger and cargo rolling stock transport for the European railways. AERRL is also supporting an increased open access to railway infrastructure.
We aim to address all technical, operational, legal and scientific issues related to locomotives and train leasing operations for lessors operating in the European Union, like broad access to rolling stock, the European freight corridor development, realistic and affordable upgrades of rolling stock to ETCS, promotion of a more competitive European maintenance, spare parts market and support to further decarbonization and digitalization of rail transportation.
The organization is open to all companies or persons likely to contribute to the pursuit of its objectives.
