CEF funded ERTMS projects
The EU is contributing EUR 44 million to the expansion of ERTMS on Malmbanan. ERTMS is one of five Swedish project to receive funding for improving the infrastructure.
The Connecting Europe Facility for Transport, CEF, is the funding instrument to realise European transport infrastructure policy. It aims to support investments in building new transport infrastructure in Europe or rehabilitate or upgrade the existing one.
TEN-T policy objectives foresee:
- Completion by 2030 of the Core Network, structured around nine multimodal Core Network Corridors.
- Completion by 2050 of the Comprehensive Network in order to facilitate accessibility to all European regions.
CEF Transport focuses on cross-border projects and projects aiming at removing bottlenecks or bridging missing links in various sections of the Core Network and on the Comprehensive Network (link), as well as for horizontal priorities such as traffic management systems.
CEF Transport also supports innovation in the transport system in order to improve the use of infrastructure, reduce the environmental impact of transport, enhance energy efficiency and increase safety.
