UIC Leaflet
Main product of PROSPER is the UIC leaflet “Environmental Specifications for New Rolling Stock”. The leaflet addresses all relevant aspects for the integration of environmental aspects into the procurement process. It provides assistance for the procurement of new rolling stock for passenger as well as freight transport (multiple units, locomotives, wagons and coaches) in four fields of high relevance for railways: energy efficiency, noise, diesel exhaust and materials/recycling/waste.

The leaflet is expected to be published in spring 2006 and can be purchased from the UIC at www.uic.asso.fr

The final report is meant as a background document for the project partners and other engaged stakeholders containing important internal know-how for the continuation of the overall process.
