Summary
Combined Transport (CT) will be a significant contributor to achieving the EU Green Deal’s ambition to reduce transport greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90%. 爱游戏中国官方网站 supports the ambition to increase the modal shift from road to rail, inland waterways (IWW) and short sea shipping (SSS). However, measures must be taken to further increase the attractiveness of combined transport. In this paper, 爱游戏中国官方网站 identifies 4 main action areas and lays out chemical shippers’ requirements towards the combined transport system.
Identified action areas
- Satisfying end-customer needs: CT must be reliable, punctual, and involve proactive real-time estimated time of arrival (ETA) alerts.
- CT must be competitive compared to all road transport: It is crucial to enhance digitalisation, streamline regulations, and collaborate across CT chains for seamless integration.
- Optimal access to CT and availability of resilient infrastructure: Expand capacity and improve infrastructure accessibility to enable further growth and shift to combined transport
- Infrastructure and Digitalisation: Fully digitalise CT processes for efficiency and real-time tracking.
- End-to-end digitalisation and innovation:: Enhance digitalisation to streamline data exchange, operational execution and tracking. Concurrently, shift towards electrification and foster technological innovations.
