Industrial Accelerator Act

The European rail ecosystem broadly welcomes the European Commission’s Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA).

As the backbone of Europe’s sustainable mobility, rail offers the lowest carbon footprint of any transport mode while driving regional cohesion and industrial competitiveness.

CER supports the IAA's ambition to reverse the decline in European manufacturing, strengthen strategic value chains and accelerate decarbonisation.

To support the effective implementation of these measures, CER offers the following observations aimed at preserving the economic viability of strategic downstream sectors such as the rail industry. This is essential to ensure that the objectives of the Green Deal are achieved without compromising the sector’s operational stability.
