On 29 April, the railway, inland waterway, maritime and intermodal sectors signed a joint statement asking the European Parliament and the Council of the EU to achieve swift progress on the revision of the Combined Transport Directive.
Combined Transport plays a pivotal role in achieving the European Union’s ambitious goals for energy efficiency, environmental protection, and economic resilience.
The statement emphasises the need for a holistic approach to freight transport in Europe, where Combined Transport stands out as an efficient solution towards greener economy and energy independence. The integration of multiple transport modes brings significant cost savings, reduces emissions and strengthens the resilience of transport networks across Europe.
