The pilot tests have so far shown significant improvements in prolonging the life of the ballast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The progressive wear of the ballast, which is used as track layer support, generates numerous and expensive maintenance operations which, in general, must be carried out during the night. In this context, Neoballast reduces the level of degradation of the aggregate, thus reducing maintenance costs and the resulting environmental impact. According to data provided by the research, this development may mean a saving of 40% of the total cost of the track, including construction and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The European \u2018<a title=\"Fast Track to Innovation\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/programmes\/horizon2020\/en\/h2020-section\/fast-track-innovation-pilot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fast Track to Innovation<\/a>\u2019 programme finances the launching of innovative and cutting-edge products that have already been successfully tested, so that they can be marketed quickly.
