2  What is EIA?  Global trends influencing intermodal chain  Basic intermodal processes  National intermodal policies  Supply Chain Decarbonisation  Logistics message to EU authorities Content

3 Environment: ‘Green’ issues became business goal What is EIA?

4 Global trends influencing intermodal chain (tomorrow) A.Sustainability (environmental restrictions & opportunities) B.Energy (search alternatives) C.Constraints infrastructures (smarter use existing infra)

5 Basic intermodal process  Cargo flows origin - destination through transport chain comprising more than one mode  Freight forwarders need to know intermodal alternatives  Intermodal product need to be as efficient as road  Consolidation of freight; corridors ; terminals (Threshold intermodal transport still too high for SME’s

6 National intermodal policies: Netherlands  Closer coordination policy initiatives ministry Transport + Economic Affairs + Department of Housing, Regional Development and the Environment  Betuweline: freight-only rail corridor (ready)  Maasvlakte II (2013)  Strict modal shift % MAASVLAKTE II.

7 Port-Hinterland Networks/Terminals: Germany  Germany has dense network of terminals, unique in EU  Terminals differ in size and services in relation to transport demand  Strong focus on hinterland transport Hamburg/Bremen / Netherlands to hinterland Public terminals road/rail/water/RoLa.

9 Environment: ‘Green’ issues became business goal  Competition on the shelve, not on the road (or other modes)  Innovative models for logistics horizontal collaboration  Manufacturing industries & LSP sharing capacity, saving revenues + CO2 New Logistics Collaboration

10 Intermodal transport: shippers’ perspective 2020 (EIA member Procter & Gamble) 1.Efficient use of all modes of transport 2.Intermodal significantly higher 3.New entrant vs. old stagnant 4.Parallel supply chains 5.Cost 6.Speed 7.Information

More efficient use of infrastructure; load (road) inefficiency is € 160 BLN opportunity This is bad for both profitability and environment Based on 2012 Eurostat + EU Environment Agency data, 2010)

12  Freight & logistics are industrial veins of supply chains  Efficiency; making smart use of existing infrastructure  Investing in electrification of transport industry (rail/terminals)  TEN-T consultation, EIA stressed CO2 = saving for authorities ‘Logistics message’ EIA to cabinet EU authorities (President Barroso; Commissioner Kallas; EP) Transport Commissioner KALLAS receives EIA delegation, Cabinet President BARROSO receives EIA delegation, April 2012 EU Parliament TEN-T consultation hearing, May 2012
