9. Source: Slovenian railways Annual report 2003 Present data Combined transport of goods performed by rails

10. Opportunities and challenges the share of intermodal transport compared to road is rather low, whole national road network is crowded by heavy trucks Opportunity Implementation of special wide plan based on international co- operation for switching goods to intermodal transport Challenge how to do that without harming anyone, how to do it to satisfy everyone involved in transport chain, to do that as quick and efficient as possible

11. Conclusion gap between the wish of switching goods from roads to intermodal transport and reality insufficient measures implemented resistance within road transport organisations Problems Possible solutions definition of goods that should be transported by different modes achievement of general agreement of switching to intermodal transport new measures for promoting intermodal transport

12. Conclusion Switching trucks to rails and ships Switching goods to intermodal transport units WRONG RIGHT
