3. European Transport : the modal split
Modal split in EU-28
(% of total number of ton-km)

4. Transport Paradox Causes? Improvements…? Breakthroughs…?
World Economic Forum Supply Chain Study
24% of good vehicles in the EU are running empty
Average loading of the rest is 57%
Overall efficiency: 43% (!)
Flow imbalance could only explain half of this loss
How long can this continue?
Transport and logistics responsible for 14-20% of global carbon footprint
Growth in transport generates more and more capacity problems - congestion
Causes?
Improvements…?
Breakthroughs…?

5. Why current business models will fail very soon
Smaller shipments,
more frequent
Shorter leadtimes
Customer on-demand
Society bans
capacity expansion
Driver shortage
E-commerce
57%
Capacity Fillrate 51
Km/h
Average Truck Speed
TODAY
2050

6. If we keep going, this will happen!
Service deterioration
Bad quality
Cost of “too late”
(unpaid) cost
for society
Hidden cost
Total
Logistics
Cost for company
Direct cost
TODAY
2050
E-commerce
Shorter leadtimes
Customer on-demand
Driver shortage
Smaller shipments, more frequent
Society bans capacity expansion
Direct transport and logistics costs
Direct taxes

7. Current transport system under pressure
Can be improved by:
Pricing policy – smart and fair road pricing system;
Efficiency – vertical and horizontal collaboration;
Smart logistics – “design for logistics”;
Multimodality > Co-modality > Synchromodality;
Innovation – adding extra capacity through a new transport mode
ULS : the fifth full transport mode

11. ULS – the challenges
Show that ULS is a sustainable and appropriate solution
Various studies and pilots in Singapore, UK, Japan,…
Study Braet: Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of ULS
To raise public awareness
How to make the first step?

12. The dilemma…
Complete chaos
“Beestenboel”
We can create order…
