Joint AERRL-ALLRAIL position on the Revision of the mandate of the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA)
As representatives of rolling stock keepers, lessors, and independent passenger rail companies, we believe the Agency’s core objective should be to contribute to increasing rail’s market share while ensuring safety, interoperability, sustainability and open competition.
A more inclusive Agency with a mandate aligned with asset life optimisation, circular economy principles and competitive neutrality will support a dynamic, innovative and investment-friendly European railway market.

Together with AERRL and ERFA, ALLRAIL expresses its concerns about the current ERTMS deployment strategy and urges the European Union to take the opportunity offered by the deployment of FRMCS to review and refine its approach.
We call for a clear, stable and well-coordinated deployment strategy, including the development of a new technology that would allow FRMCS to be integrated with BL3.4, ensuring long-term success and supporting the future of European rail transport.
A New ERA Regulation for a Changing European Railway Landscape
The Association of European Rail Rolling Stock Lessors (AERRL) and the Alliance of Passenger Rail New Entrants (ALLRAIL) are joining forces to advocate for a new vision for European rail transport. This comes at a crucial time, as the European Commission is preparing a revision of the Regulation on the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA). As the rail sector continues to evolve, both new entrants and rolling stock lessors call for an updated Regulation that reflects these developments and supports the future growth of European rail transport.
