FINAL REPORT on OTM's (ON TRACK MACHINES)

​

The opening of the market for construction, renewal and maintenance works for transport infrastructure could hardly be achieved without cross-acceptance of machines and staff performing the works. In open and competitive European market, a significant reduction of the costs and time for placing the track construction and maintenance machines in service can be achieved by harmonisation of authorisation procedures and processes. 

​

This report describes joint efforts of the infrastructure contractors with manufacturing industry to stipulate, within the European legal and regulatory technical frameworks, the conditions which would simplify current authorization processes and thus significantly reduce costs and shortening the implementation time.
