The European Commission has approved almost €2.8 billion in funding for 94 transport projects under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme, which focuses on upgrading rail infrastructure in EU Member States. Neptune Logistics, which is actively expanding its activities in Europe, views the newly opened investment flows as strategic opportunities to develop its own multimodal services and logistics network.
77% of the total grants are allocated to railways, the largest share among all modes of transport. The funding will go towards the construction of key sections, including Rail Baltica in the Baltic States and Poland, as well as the implementation of the European Road Traffic Management System (ERTMS) in 11 countries, which will improve safety and simplify cross-border transport. These measures create the conditions for an even more effective integration of Neptune Logistics services into the European transport system.
CEF Transport, with a budget of €25.8 billion until 2027, covers all EU countries, as well as Ukraine and Moldova, which are associated with the programme. Based on the current allocation, 95% of the budget has already been spent – and Neptune Logistics is ready to use the infrastructure being created to scale its rail and intermodal solutions across Europe.
