Low Carbon Rail Challenge Technical Report
UIC, the International Railway Association, has announced a transport sector challenge in the framework of the green growth agenda and climate change perspective for 2030 and 2050. This challenge sets out ambitious but achievable targets for improvement of rail sector energy efficiency, reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a more sustainable balance between transport modes. These targets have been voted unanimously by UIC worldwide members in UIC General Assembly, held in Paris on June 27th 2014.
These worldwide voluntary reduction objectives follow what has already been put into practice at the European level by UIC and CER with the āEuropean Rail Sector Sustainable Mobility Strategyā that envisages specific targets for energy efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, PM/NOx emissions reduction and noise reduction to be met by the EU railway sector in 2030 and 2050.
In order to monitor the environmental performance of the European Railway Sector, the UIC Environmental Strategy Reporting System (ESRS) has been created as a comprehensive instrument which allows the overall procedure of construction of indicators, data collection, analysis, reporting and data sharing to be regulated in a clear and transparent structure.

UIC Technical Solutions for the operational railway
As the main technical body serving not only railway operators, but the entire community of railway stakeholders, including research centres and universities, UIC is a natural forum for bringing together all stakeholders and for developing collaborative global solutions.
This document, ranging from architecture to financial arrangements, provides an overview of the main achievements and developments in UIC. Depending on oneās different interests, it will give a synthetic description of operational solutions suited to market needs. It will be an efficient tool for summarising in a few pages the added value of UIC spread in different instruments and workflows:

Depending on oneās different interests, it will give a synthetic description of operational solutions suited to market needs. It will be an efficient tool for summarising in a few pages the added value of UIC spread in different instruments and workflows:
- 700 leaflets describing the entire railway system (with progressive conversion to +/- 300 International Railway Solutions)
- Technical Specifications
- Qualitative and quantitative guidelines
- 118 working groups and more than 1,000 experts drawn from member companies
- Regularly updated procedures, with a dedicated supervisory platform for standardisation.
