FRMCS strategy, time to change the ERTMS deployment !
More than ten years after the adoption of the ‘Single European Railway Area’ and despite billions invested in interoperability, the deployment of ERTMS remains patchy.

As major investors in interoperability and cross-border traffic, we are calling on the European authorities and Member States to review their strategy and push for a roll-out that will support a commercially successful and competitive railway.

Let’s fix the deployment. Let’s end the patchwork. And let’s finally build the rail network Europe promised, with a single ETCS and FRMCS implemented as soon as possible.

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.
