TCM compliance: mandatory for railway companies from 2026
What does TCM mean?
A TCM contains structured data on the composition of the train: vehicles, weights, personnel, tracks and restrictions. Standardised transmission ensures that all parties involved use the same information reliably, transparently and without errors. Manual entries, which could previously take up to an hour per train, are no longer necessary.
For European operators, this is a decisive step towards greater interoperability.
