This morning at the headquarters of the European Parliament in Brussels, TELT, invited by CER, the community that brings together the main European railway and infrastructure companies, presented the construction site progress of the Lyon-Turin freight and passenger line.
In an exhibition entitled “The track to a successful TEN-T”, set up in the Altiero Spinelli building, TELT illustrated the transport, environmental and economic objectives of the cross-border section of the new line in construction under the Alps, together with other infrastructure projects – from the major works to the missing links – and the core technology which is contributing to revolutionise the railway sector.

The opening of the exhibition was preceded by a Policy debate hosted by MEP Dominique Riquet, rapporteur at the Parliament for the revision proposal of the TEN-T network regulation published by the Commission. The dossier, which is crucial for strengthening the foundations of a seamless multimodal transport system, places rail at the centre in a strategy of efficiency enhancement up to 2050.
