OPTIONS FOR THE INTEGRATION OF COMBINED TRANSPORT INTO EUROPEAN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS - THE CASE OF TRANS-EUROPEAN RAIL FREIGHT FREEWAYS (TERFF)
French road freight transport firms are variously affected by the current crisis in the sector. It is the SMEs which are often the darkest hit by changes which force them to find new ways of working in order to cope with socioeconomic and financial pressures. To discover more about and better understand such companies and the way the have behaved in a variety of social and industrial territories we have examined a transport undertaking in the south of France over a period of approximately twenty years by combining the approaches of three different disciplines: social anthropology, geography and socioeconomics. This piece of exploratory research has revealed the large number of ways in which transport companies are interlinked with their environment and applies a new methodological research.
