Friday, 10 July 2020 European transport must be carbon-neutral at the latest by 2050, with clear mid-term milestones set for 2030 and 2040. This is the objective proposed by the Community of European Railway and Infrastructure companies (CER) in its input (A railway-based mobility blueprint) to the upcoming EU Strategy on Sustainable and Smart Mobility. The guiding paper was formally endorsed by Europe’s leading railway CEOs, forming the CER Management Committee, on 10 July.
