Brussels approves of aids in order to promote the reduction of the noise of the railway traffic goods in Italy
Reimbursement until 50% of the cost in order to equip the wagons of stock brakes with soles in material composite
December 18, 2018
The EU commission has approved of an Italian program of aids for a total of 20 million euros in support of the reduction of the noise of the railway traffic goods. The aids will be granted through a reimbursement until 50% of the cost in order to equip to the employed railway wagons goods in Italy that are put in circulation before on January 1°, 2015 of stock brakes with soles in material composite, less noisy.
The Commission has explained that it has been considered that such aids are necessary as, in they absence, the railway societies and the owners of wagons goods would not have sufficient incentives in order to equip the railway wagons of less noisy brakes.
The plan of aids is opened to all the railway enterprises and to the owners of wagons established in European Spazio Economic that operate transport services goods on the Italian railway net and the aids they will be granted to not discriminatory conditions.
