Infrastructure Access Charge

To ensure the minimum package of services provided for in Law No. 202/2016 on the integration of the Romanian railway system in the single European railway area, with subsequent amendments and additions and in the access contracts, CFR charges an infrastructure access charge (IAC). IAC is charged for the movement of a train on the railway infrastructure managed by CFR between two points (stations) of the network, without shunting or (re)fuelling services. IAC applies on a non- discriminatory basis to all RUs for similar conditions of transport. The method of allocating the direct costs related to the minimum access package (MPA) is presented in Annex 25.c. This allocation method is valid from 01.03.2024 and is in force until further modification.

a) IAC calculation methodology IAC is calculated based on a methodology approved, according to the legal provisions, by the Activity and Performance Contract of the National Railway Company "C.F.R." - SA. The activity and performance contract of CFR SA for the period 2021-2025, approved by GD No. 920/2021, is presented in Annex 24.a. The extract with the IAC calculation methodology is presented in Annex 25.a. The IAC calculation methodology is based on the following elements: a) the distance travelled by the train; b) the gross tonnage of the train; c) type of traffic: freight or passengers; d) traffic route; e) line class f) equipping with electrification systems to ensure traction current.

b) Line classes (sections) for IAC calculation The modality to include an IAC section into a line class for IAC calculation is presented in the IAC calculation methodology.
