The challenges currently faced by the EU transport sector focus primarily on the chances of reducing its negative environmental impact. According to the European Environment Agency, about 25% of the EU’s total CO2 emissions are generated by the transport sector, 71.7% of which by the road transport segment.
This challenge is addressed in a number of documents at the European level, most notably in the European Green Deal, pursuant to which GHG emissions should by reduced by 90% by 2050 compared to their 1990 level.
This goal is to be achieved through implementing specific objectives, comprising e.g.:
The above goals are reflected in the priorities of various programmes through which support can be sought under the EU financial perspective 2021-27.
European Funds for a Modern Economy (FENG)
Projects concerning researching and developing innovative solutions in the field of transport (new products, solutions, and technologies) may apply for funding under the SMART path. Funding is available for enterprises (large, SMEs) as well as consortia (including consortia involving research institutions). The maximum funding for an R&D project can reach up to EUR 20 million.
Horizon Europe
Funding from the Horizon Europe programme (managed directly at the European Commission level) is awarded to international research projects focusing on developing breakthrough solutions, including solutions in the field of transport, that are at the early stages of development. The maximum level of funding for Research and Innovation Actions reaches up to 100% of eligible costs.
European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, and Environment 2021-2027 (FEnIKS)
Entrepreneurs from the transport sector have access to a number of funding instruments under the FEnIKS Programme. Companies from the railroad sector can apply for funding under the FENX.05.05 Rolling Stock Measure that focuses on acquiring zero-emission rolling stock for passenger transportation and modernising rolling stock through the installation of ETCS/GSM-R equipment.
The FENX.05.06 Intermodal Transport Measure, on the other hand, permits obtaining funding for projects related to the construction or reconstruction of intermodal terminal infrastructure and the acquisition or modernisation of rolling stock and specialised equipment used in intermodal transport.
National Recovery Plan
Transport industry organisations can primarily apply for funding under the National Recovery Plan in the following areas:
Extensive support is also available for rail infrastructure operators and local government institutions, which should also translate into increased demand for products and solutions offered by entrepreneurs.
Funding for the acquisition of intermodal rolling stock
Approx. PLN 80 million awarded to a large Polish company for the acquisition of rolling stock for intermodal transportation.
Funding for R&D works
Approx. PLN 23 million awarded to a rolling stock manufacturer for R&D works connected with developing a prototype of a new vehicle.
Funding for establishing an R&D Centre
Approx. PLN 2 million awarded to a rolling stock manufacturer for establishing a Research and Development Centre with an objective to develop new solutions for the railroad industry.
