THE RENFE CONTAINER SERVICE

EL SERVICIO DE CONTENEDERORES RENFE

A detailed analysis is presented of the transport sector in Spain and of its influence on the national economy. Problems of coordination between different transport modes, taxation system, apportioning of infrastructure costs, the relation between transport forms and the state from the financial point of view, etc. are examined. The TECO plan is outlined; its aim is to increase container freight transport, and several combinations of road-rail systems are outlined. Their advantages would be a regular, rapid, safe freight transport system independent of weather conditions. /TRRL/
