Intermodal transport and SJ/Green Cargo's development project light-combi

Intermodala transporter och SJ/Green cargos utvecklingsprojekt laettkombi

This report is part of a research effort analysing Green Cargo's development of the intermodal transport concept Light-combi. In order to make the report worth reading and valuable for a little wider context than just the Light-combi concept, it is introduced with some rather general chapters about intermodal transport. After that an "is-value" is presented as state of the art and then a chapter is dedicated to a scenario, i.e. an "ought-to-value" for the development in Europe in a 5 to 10 years horizon. The scenario is presented in detail in English in the appendix. Then ongoing trends and development projects are evaluated in the perspective of paths between "is-value" and "ought-to-value". Then the scope is narrowed to evaluating development projects relevant to the Light-combi development project. The last chapter then presents the development plans behind the concept Light-combi and how they changed during the project. (A)
