    Goals / Remit

    UNIFE, the Association of the European Rail Industry, represents 77 of Europe’s leading large and medium-sized rail supply companies active in the design, manufacture, maintenance and refurbishment of rail transport systems, subsystems and related equipment. A further one thousand suppliers of railway equipment partake in UNIFE activities through 15 national rail industry associations. UNIFE members produce more than 50% of the worldwide production of rail equipment and services.

    UNIFE’s role is to represent its members’ interests at the level of both European and international institutions. UNIFE’s mission is to pro-actively develop an environment in which UNIFE members can provide competitive railway systems for increased rail traffic.

    UNIFE activities are structured as follows:
    - Research and standardization activities, in particular the management of EU-funded projects and work on technical harmonization in the railway sector;
    - Public Affairs activities, which fall under the scope of this register and are further described below.
