A standardised set of reference cycles for energy efficiency of rolling stock would increase comparability and thus transparency of manufacturers' specifications. This would enhance competition in this field. Although not useful in all purchasing projects, reference cycles are a promising short-term instrument to make energy performance more relevant in railway procurement. |
