Why should rail innovate? UK Rail Industry UK Rail Supply Chain Increasing Opportunities Network Rail, Crossrail, HS2, Light Rail UK supply chain £7bn pa, 80,000 employees €100 bn global rail market in 2010 growing 2.7% p.a. in the next 5 years Mainline rail is the largest segment but Light Rail, Tram and Metro (LRTM) will grow fastest • A success story with increasing expectations • Demand • Performance • Cost • Sustainability • New opportunities • Economic catalyst • Demographics • Modal competition • Rail Technical Strategy Innovation is key to addressing these opportunities and supporting UK economic growth Introduction to EIT

EIT, TSB and RIA commissioned a UK supply chain capability route mapping study to help address a number of key issues The concept is based on very successful approaches already used for Automotive and Aerospace industries Introduction What we wanted to identify • What capabilities should we develop to meet our ambitions for UK’s future railway? • Which are the capabilities/technologies in which we are, or can become, world class over a long period? • How can we increase international uptake of UK rail products and services in these key capability areas? • What are the priorities for investment? Scope includes: • Capabilities in business, process or operations as well as technology and supporting science • Both domestic and international market opportunities • Sectors beyond rail which could have relevant capabilities • Light rail, tram and metro (LRTM) as well as Rail
Rationale There is a strong rationale for investment in developing UK rail supply capabilities, in terms of demand, skills challenges, economic impact, and industry strategy and vision The case for developing rail capabilities Demand Skills Supply • Demography • Skills Gap • 1.5 billion passenger journeys, up 50% in ten years • Passengers& freight demand forecast to double in 30 years • Critical need for capacity • Major new investments • Increasing performance expectations • 200,000 jobs (80,000 in supply chain) - significant economic impact for UK plc • Poor growth history, good potential to improve competitiveness • Already strengthening supply chain with many areas of excellence on which to build Strong rationale for investment Innovation (product, process, service) • New Rail Technical Strategy provides a consolidated industry view of required innovation • Network Rail Technical Strategy provides an aligned infrastructure perspective • Many other aligned initiatives which could be leveraged, eg Transport Catapult, TSB, KTNs, TSLG, RRUKA, NSARE, EIT, UK Tram, etc Strategy and Vision
