The rail industry in Europe is asking to make the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) the registration entity in the context of the European Vehicle Register (EVR), a European database where wagon keepers can register their rolling stock. The plan would be for the EVR to gradually replace National Vehicle Registers (NVRs) and create a more European framework. However, the implementation modalities remain quite loose since registration to the EVR would remain voluntary.
