Heavy investment in railways
Infrastructure and Transportation Plan (PEIT) 2005-2020
• New investment on HSR: €78,100 million
$117.8 billion• 81,4% Public funds - 18,4% Private funds
Financing novelties: first PPP project - Figueras-Perpignan
• 40% of the population currently living within 30 miles of a hsr station;90% of the population by 2020
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS• Lower greenhouse gas emissions:
Airplane: 70 kg./passenger
HSR: 13 kg./passenger• Energy savings• 1/3 land use compared to
highways
SOCIAL BENEFITS• Economic development• Geographic accessibility• Social cohesion• Increased mobility• Modernization
HOW IS IT ACCOMPLISHED?
HSR is a system, the sum of many parts
-Strong public works experience – world-class construction and engineering companies
-Robust rail manufacturing sector
-International hsr technology + national companies with proprietary technology for specific challenges
-Interoperability
-Infrastructure management
-Service operations redesigned and world-pioneer policies for custumer service
OPERATIONS
• Fleet in 2010: 231 trains• Punctuality: over 99% on time
– first in Europe
