The organisational structure is in line with our values and working principles: transparent, efficient and shared.

  • The daily organisation is run by the chair of the Steering Group (SG) and the Eurospec secretary. The aim of the SG chair is to ensure that the initiative’s work runs according to plan and that mission areas are followed. The role of the SG Chair will be circulated under the members.
  • The Advisory Group (AG) takes decisions of essential strategic character. The AG is convoked by the SG Chair. Members of AG are high level company representatives in the area of Rolling Stock. The Advisory Group consists of DB, SNCF and the Chair or the Steering Group.
  • The Steering Group (SG) sets up and adjusts the work program, monitors the work progress, and takes decisions of operational business character. This group acts as the Technical Management. The SG shall actively support and contribute to the work. The SG meetings are convoked by the SG Chair (supported by the Secretary). Members of the SG are company representatives with technical background and detailed knowledge of European regulation and standardisation. The current composition of the group is available in this overview.
  • The Working Groups (WG) create the harmonised technical specifications according to the framework set by the SG. The WG meetings are convened by the WG chair. Every WG consists of representatives of at least 3 member organisations. Members are technical experts of the operating companies. In the current workplan it can be seen which WGs are active. The other WGs have a more passive status, focusing on exchanging experiences and keeping track of developments in the field of regulations and standards.
