1. Italian high speed lines
Development of the italian railway

2. Modal balance
92,7% of passengers and 65% of freight are carried by road
Only 5,44% of passengers and 10,74 of freight are carried by train
Data taken by National Transport Survey 1999

3. Most of the traffic is concentrated in few lines
Turin-Venice and Milan-Naples account about 10% of rail network
Carry more than 40% of all passengers
Carry almost 30% of freights

4. Relation about the project
As stressed at the Eurailspeed 2002 (Madrid october) by Mauro Moretti, chairman of RFI, the lines involved in the project are the Turin – Milan - Naples and the so called ”rest of the system”
On the new lines there will be both passenger and freight trains as in Germany
The line will improve both the speed and the number of trains: that´s why it is called also high speed/high capacity

31. Way of financing Total cost: 28.750 million Euro
60% of the total cost is given by the government and the EU (Rm–Na, Bo–Fi)
40% of the cost is risen from the capital market (debt with pubblic guarantee,
for instance 2369 ml from BEI, 1033 ml from Merrill Lynch Bank)
