  1. Intermodal transport, Increasing efficiency, reducing costs via innovative collaborative partnerships Peter Wolters Secretary General EIA

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

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

  4. Global trends influencing intermodal chain(tomorrow) Sustainability (environmental restrictions & opportunities) Energy (search alternatives) 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 German Port-Hinterland.

  8. Supply Chain Decarbonisation, World Econ.Forum, 2009 Environment:‘Green’ issues became business goal

  9. New Logistics Collaboration 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

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

  11. More efficient use of infrastructure;load (road) inefficiency is € 160 BLN opportunity This is bad for both profitability and environment www.co3-project.eu Based on 2012 Eurostat + EU Environment Agency data, 2010)

  12. ‘Logistics message’ EIA to cabinet EU authorities (President Barroso; Commissioner Kallas; EP) • 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 Cabinet President BARROSO receives EIA delegation, April 2012 EU Parliament TEN-T consultation hearing, May 2012 Transport Commissioner KALLAS receives EIA delegation, 2011+2012

  13. Environment:‘Green’ issues became business goal Many thanks! www.eia-ngo.com Peter.wolters@eia-ngo.com
