Descripción:

The measure will contribute to improving the environmental performance of rail and urban transport, in line with the objectives of the Commission’s Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy and the European Green Deal.

Czechia notified the Commission of its plans to support operators of rail passenger and freight transport and urban public transport, which run their vehicles on electric traction. The scheme will run until the end of 2026.

The aim of the measure is to promote transport by electric traction as a greener mode of transport as opposed to diesel-powered vehicles, and the shift of freight and passenger transport from road to rail and urban transport.
