The Report on Vehicle Authorisation - Costs and Complexities
Report content
Executive summary1. References, terms & abbreviations2. Railway vehicle authorisation background3. Railway vehicle authorisation trends and methodology4. Analysis of vehicles authorisation processes5. Analysis of costs drivers related to vehicle authorisation 6. Obstacles to vehicle authorisation for placing in service
17/11/2010 Cross Acceptance Workshop - The Bridge to the Future 2
Sources of information
1. ERA questionnaire to MSs/NSAs on processes2. ERA questionnaire to the sector (manufacturers, RUs)
on costs & delays3. ERA workshop with the sector on obstacles4. Bi-lateral meetings with the NSAs/ Sector from 07/2009
to 07/2010 on the processes and business cases
17/11/2010 Cross Acceptance Workshop - The Bridge to the Future 3
Processes: key findings
• Different ways to place a vehicle in service amongst the 28 NSAs (25 EU+ NIE + NO + CH)
• Current processes are extremely complex, take time and cost a large amount
• Even with the current XA agreements, there are still improvements to be made related to APS
17/11/2010 Cross Acceptance Workshop - The Bridge to the Future 4
Processes: key findings Recall the findings from the NSA questionnaire:Mean number of vehicles authorised per type (2004 – Q2 2009)
From the bi-lateral meetings, the Sector Workshop and other sources we were able to examine 83 observations of 62 cases of APS

Costs of authorisation for vehicles
• Costs to authorise vehicles to APS is split into three parts:• To meet Contractual Requirements - Manufacturer and Contracting
Entity/Railway Undertaking• To meet Essential Requirements by being placed in “Design Operating State”
– Manu/CE/RU and National Safety Authority (NSA)• To meet Technical Compatibility Requirements – NSA in conjunction with
Infrastructure Manager(s)
• All of the above costs overlap. To date, our case studies have only seen the total costs for these three items. The total figures have more of an impact than the split costs

Ranges of authorisation costs
17/11/2010 Cross Acceptance Workshop - The Bridge to the Future 10
Vehicle category CostsFirst authorisations
Wagon 1% of Contract price
Multi-system Locomotive € 5 to 7 Million
Subsequent authorisationsMulti-system Locomotive for a MS € 1 to 4 Million
Multi-system Locomotive for 5 MSs € 16 to 20 Million
Cost Drivers for additional authorisation
• Open points or Specific Cases in CCS TSIs• Equipment of Locos with additional Class B systems• Different requirement leading to exchange of pantograph• Testing to proof running (dynamic) behavior• Aerodynamic effects• Different brake performance requirements• Different requirements to design and equip Driver’s cab• Different national requirements on Push Pull controls

Impact of XA on additional authorisations
Current situation MoU in place:• Significant reduction in the authorisation costs Differences in Infrastructure (between first & subsequent MS)• The greater these are, the higher the authorisation costs will be Worst case: No existing MoU and significant difference of infrastructure• Additional authorisation vary between €0,9 - €2 M per locomotive type
Future expectations APS cost decreases:• if more MoUs are established, or• if MS implement APS in line with the Directives and DV29 Additional APS costs may be lowered to be in the range of €0,4 – 0,5 Million
