Green Corridors for Goods’ Transportation in Europe

How to accelerate the decarbonisation of European goods' transportation thanks to modal shift and intermodal corridors?

The European Union's policy on trans-European transport networks is a key instrument for the development of coherent, efficient, multimodal, and high-quality transport infrastructure across all member states. 

It includes railways, inland waterways, short sea shipping routes, and roads connecting urban centers, seaports, inland ports, airports, and terminals.

Trans-European Transport Networks are based on the idea that European integration can only be achieved through efficient links between member countries. Behind this apparent self-evidence lies the enormous complexity of connecting the various infrastructures and forms of transportation and ensuring cooperation between players and operators at all levels.  

Green corridors are a real opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, manage road traffic, reduce dependence on fossil fuels and improve logistics efficiency. But modal shift poses challenges in terms of infrastructure, costs and coordination between different modes of transport.

Data will play a crucial role here, and its importance continues to grow as technologies evolve operations optimization, informed decision-making, cost reduction, real-time tracking, inventory management, improved customer satisfaction and relations, supply chain integration.

The physical Internet promises to go even further in terms of operational efficiency, sustainability, ecology and systems interoperability. Companies that know how to exploit data intelligently will be able to gain a significant competitive advantage.

What impact are we aiming for?

Demonstrate the feasibility and identify the key levers of modal shift ambitions for decarbonizing the goods' transport.

Accelerate and improve transport efficiency and impact (time, service, cost, CO2).

Make transportation more resilient (increase options, anticipate social changes, foster digitalization and automation).

What are we creating?

Design and implementation of European intermodal corridors to demonstrate feasibility.
