Promoter – Financial Intermediary

Région Rhône-Alpes (as organising authority for regional transport) and SNCF (for the supply and operation of the rolling stock).

Location

Description

Acquisition of rolling stock for the regional express train (TER) lines of the Rhône-Alpes region.

Objectives

To improve non-polluting regional transport and contribute to regional development and improving the quality of life.

Sector(s)

Proposed EIB finance (Approximate amount)

Approximately EUR 200 million.

Total cost (Approximate amount)

Approximately EUR 480 million.

Environmental aspects

The purchase of new rolling stock to replace old equipment will help to make rail transport more attractive than road transport. This will result in a reduction in the number of journeys undertaken by private car and limit the harmful effects associated with this mode of transport (local atmospheric pollution and noise).

Procurement

The Région Rhône-Alpes is an organisation subject to EU procurement directives. All works contracts for projects financed by the Bank will be issued in accordance with the provisions of EU law.

Status

Signed - 10/11/2005
