(((etiCORE
(((etiCORE is the next generation of our ticketing standard and will go live in 2026 with all updated background systems. Until 2031, (((etiCORE will run in parallel with the VDV core application before the VDV-KA system landscape is switched off from 2031.
All of the specification sections presented here are part of the first release candidate of etiCORE 3.0.0. Together with the specifications in the ASM tool, they can be used for tenders and system development in compliance with the terms of use.
Initial implementation projects may still result in corrections, which we will make available to you in good time, including release notes. Corrections are collected and then lead to a new release candidate. The following links always point to the latest version.

The VDV core application 1.X will remain the VDV core application until it is completely switched off and archived in 2031. (((etiCORE will become active in 2026. From this point onwards, we will operate both the VDV core application and (((etiCORE in parallel.
We are already making working documents relating to (((etiCORE available on our collaboration platform (((efi. There you can ask questions and discuss with us, manufacturers and employees of transport companies in the forum. In this way, the next generation of the eTicket standard will benefit from the operational experience of the entire public transport sector and the industry involved.
