Special vehicles, such as On-Track Machines (OTMs), are categorised in the EVR Decision (EU) 2018/1614. They can be grouped into the following subsets: (i) On track Machines (OTMs) are vehicles specially designed for construction and maintenance of the track and infrastructure. (ii) Infrastructure Inspection Vehicles (IIVs) are vehicles utilised to monitor the condition of the infrastructure. (iii) Environment vehicles are vehicles designed for clearance of the track from environmental conditions such as snow clearance machines. (iv) Emergency vehicles are vehicles designed for a specific emergency use such as evacuation, firefighting, and recovery of trains (including the breakdown cranes). (v) Road-Rail vehicles are self-propelled machines able to move on rails and on the ground.
