Hinterland transportation in Europe: Combined transport versus road transport

Author

  • Frémont, Antoine
  • Franc, Pierre

Abstract

The dominance of road for hinterland services could be challenged by using rail-road or waterway-road transport because of costs, congestion and growing environmental constraints. A common dynamic that is very favorable to the development of combined transport is shared among the actors of the transport chain but with different starting positions considering the ports of the Northern Range.
