VI. ROLLING STOCK

Electric traction rolling stock is highly optimised, as already stated in the 2016 document.
In any case, improvement in this area will be represented by the new energy vectors.

Identified challenges are laid out in the following table:

Challenge Description Identified in Advances
2016 since 2016
(*)

R.11 Promote on board electrical energy Yes Yes
storage

R.12 Boost traction with hydrogen in a fuel cell No -

R.13 Promote traction with LNG Yes Yes

R.14 Boost traction with zero footprint fuels No -

R.15 Implement on board measurement Yes Yes
systems

R.16 Promote development of efficient (on No -
board) power electronics
