In the originally planned Northern and Southern expansion:

# 11,000 km of new high-speed rail and road infrastructure across Europe;

# Tapping the potential of Europe and its neighbourhood;

# Project cost: 7% of EU GDP;

# Effects of construction: 3.5% GDP growth on average (cummulative, over a decade), 2m jobs;

# Road transport travel time cut by 8%;

# Positive trade effects;

# Additional potential: common infrastructure standards (e.g. e-mobility); more political, personal and cultural cooperation across Europe; a new narrative for the continent.
