According to 2021 Circularity Gap Report, global GHG emissions could be reduced by 39% with a circular economy. Rail transport is one of the most sustainable means of transport. However, trains consume material resources for their manufacturing and maintenance. Current trains are not fully designed for modularity and for circular economy, and need to be kept attractive during their 40 years lifetime. The interiors are based on a tailor-made design specific to each series and customers, and quick-fit fasteners are almost not existing, which limits the range of reusable solutions. It also increases purchasing and replacement costs. The project Attractiveness is integrated in the European Research Program Rail4EARTH and it received fundings from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program under grant agreement No: 101101917. The purpose is to strengthen train attractiveness by facilitating modal transfer and by making train more circular. The project is split in two main topics: Each topic is built in three main steps: knowledges, concepts, and demonstrators with the objective to offer several mock-ups scale one as the final deliverable Phase 1 in 2026.

摘要

According to 2021 Circularity Gap Report, global GHG emissions could be reduced by 39% with a circular economy. Rail transport is one of the most sustainable means of transport. However, trains consume material resources for their manufacturing and maintenance. Current trains are not fully designed for modularity and for circular economy, and need to be kept attractive during their 40 years lifetime. The interiors are based on a tailor-made design specific to each series and customers, and quick-fit fasteners are almost not existing, which limits the range of reusable solutions. It also increases purchasing and replacement costs. The project Attractiveness is integrated in the European Research Program Rail4EARTH and it received fundings from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program under grant agreement No: 101101917. The purpose is to strengthen train attractiveness by facilitating modal transfer and by making train more circular. The project is split in two main topics: Each topic is built in three main steps: knowledges, concepts, and demonstrators with the objective to offer several mock-ups scale one as the final deliverable Phase 1 in 2026.
