Train operators have a need to procure new rail vehicles to replace old equipment, implement new capabilities (such as enhanced efficiency and higher speeds), serve new routes, and offer more frequent service in a sustainable, eco-friendly manner. This requires a procurement approach that considers the full range of selection criteria —  including maintenance, energy, and administrative expenses — over the lifespan of the rolling stock.
