End-to-end goods - European multimodal green corridors
Powered by
The EU’s Trans-European Transport Network policy is a key instrument for the development of coherent, efficient, multimodal, and high-quality transport infrastructure across the EU. It comprises railroads, inland waterways, short sea shipping routes and roads linking urban hubs, maritime and 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.
Challenges and opportunities
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.
In practice
The Community of Interest stands out for its hands-on approach, which aims to concretely identify bottlenecks along a trans-European corridor and identify solutions for sustainable, profitable activity.
• The workgroup is already drawing on feedback from the exploration of “End-to-End Goods” modal transfer by coastal shipping and rail link between several industrial sites. Although this initial deployment was carried out on a small-scale, it is the starting point for a process of scaling up towards the notion of "Big product flow including Data."
• We have also launched an analysis of the value drivers identified through a trans-European sea-land modal shift, bringing together various players (such as organic wholesalers, inland modal shift platforms like MedLink Port and NordLink Port, and a Hisseo shipowner), as well as a successful modal shift experiment with Paris Terminal concerning the Olympic Games logistic DHL flows.
• A third learning path focuses on large groups for "big product flows", such as the modal shift proposed by Solvay from the Libourne plant to the Michelin plants in Vittoria and Valladolid

Take part and connect with our cross-sectoral expert
In 2024, Movin'On is renewing its commitment to the ambitious vision set out by the European Green Deal. To achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, legislative measures include initiatives covering climate, the environment, energy, transportation, industry and sustainable finance - all of which are closely linked. The European Commission has furthermore stressed "the need for a comprehensive, cross-sectoral approach, encompassing all relevant sectors to achieve the ultimate climate objective". Movin'On, as a business-led, multi-modal and cross-sectoral ecosystem, is perfectly in line with this approach.
We are therefore proud to announce our collective commitment throughout the year to achieving one goal: to help make the decarbonization of land transportation in Europe a success, in line with the objectives of the "Fit for 55" package by the year 2030 and in tune with the signing of the call for "Fossil-Free Transportation" initiated by our long-standing institutional partner SLOCAT.
Pease discover the themes we have together defined to meet this challenge, and for you, too, to collectively be a real part of it: Energy - Intermodality - Circular economy - Financing the transition - Inclusive mobility - Supporting the transition. - Sovereignty
These 7 themes are the starting point for our 2024 Communities of Interest, working groups that bring together various ecosystem stakeholders. They study the burning question of sustainable mobility, develop a common vision and jointly experiment with new solutions.
