European freight transport: modern logistics solutions for competitiveness and sustainability

Europe's transport policy suffers from an imbalance in the utilisation of different modes of transport. Choosing the best option, whether it be exclusively road transport, or a combination of rail, short-sea shipping or inland waterways, makes transport operations more efficient, cost-effective, sustainable, and economically competitive. The purpose of this brochure is to show the range of activities under way, as well as to raise interest, in intermodal transport solutions and related logistics.
