STUDY] "Time to Market for Rail Products: An International Benchmark"

[ETUDE] "Time to Market for Rail Products: An International Benchmark" Rail, a sector of excellence, embodies the unique alliance of high technology, safety and sustainability. This requirement involves demanding regulatory and technical processes that directly influence the time taken to commission new equipment on the market. The process of validation of railway equipment varies from country to country. The study highlights good practices and points of vigilance across countries, leading to major variations in the time and cost of commissioning railway equipment To better understand these differences and identify the levers for improvement, the Federation of Railway Industries has launched an unprecedented study: "Time to Market for Rail Products: An International Benchmark". Prefaced by David Valencia, President of the Infrastructure Guidance Council, and Patrick Jeantet, the aim of this study is to provide a collective reflection on the performance of the French railway and to identify good European and international practices to speed up innovation without compromising safety. Two main objectives: - Analysis of French specificities: where are the main sources of complexity for manufacturers and equipment manufacturers? - Observe international practices to identify efficiency levers and good practices adopted elsewhere: how can other countries reconcile requirements, safety and effectiveness? Study period: 4 types of equipment: regional trains, high-speed trains, metros and trams 5 countries studied: Germany — Spain — Italy — Netherlands — Australia More than 40 actors met, including 27 in-depth interviews with authorities, certifiers, manufacturers and equipment manufacturers Based on this study, it is now necessary to work together to reduce the time to market in France, at the service of a more agile, more competitive and always as safe railway.
