The rail line is part of the Mediterranean corridor of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) network. It will connect the rail networks of France and Italy, as well as offer faster transit and improved safety for passengers travelling between the two countries.

The Lyon–Turin rail line is expected to replace around one million heavy vehicles on Alpine roads by 2030. Additionally, it will decrease greenhouse gas emissions by around three million tonnes of CO2 equivalent a year.
