🇫🇷 𝗙𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘: Exploring the Freight Transport Landscape: An Overview from an Intermodal Perspective 🚛 🚆 ⚓ 🔵 France is a cornerstone of European logistics, intersecting four major TEN-T corridors: Atlantic, North Sea-Rhine, Mediterranean, and Rhine-Danube. These strategic routes connect France with neighbouring regions and industries, solidifying its role as a leader in freight transport. ⚪ France counts 97 Combined Transport terminals, 25 CT operators, including UIRR members and partners T3M, NOVATRANS, VIIA, MODALIS Lahaye Global Logistics, DELTA RAIL, The port of Marseille Fos, NAVILAND CARGO, GREENMODAL TRANSPORT two infrastructure managers (SNCF Réseau and LISEA). The country supports intermodal freight transport through initiatives such as Energy Savings Contracts (CEE) which finance modal shift of logistics operations and intermodal assets. 🔴 France’s rail network spans 27,812 km, with Combined Transport accounting for 35% of rail freight performance. Inland waterways also contribute to the intermodal landscape, representing 8% of freight transport on rivers and canals. The base tunnel developed by La Transalpine Lyon-Turin will multiply French intermodal railfreight performance once becoming operational by providing a reliable and efficient large capacity link between #France and #Italy.

🚆 𝗖𝗧 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 #𝟮: 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 The latest UIRR UIC Combined Transport Report revealed key trends and insights in Combined Transport, highlighting how rail infrastructure in Europe demonstrates greater efficiency compared to road infrastructure. 💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: 1️⃣ The European rail network: with over 245,000 km of rail infrastructure, Europe has one of the densest networks in the world. Germany contributes a fifth of this total (47,000 km), making it the largest national rail network, followed by France (31,000 km or 13%). 2️⃣ Top rail freight modal share leaders: Latvia (53%), Lithuania (46%), and Switzerland (34%) lead Europe in rail freight modal share. However, all three countries have experienced a decline since 2013. Latvia and Lithuania were heavily impacted by sanctions against Russia following the Ukraine invasion, while Swiss Transalpine rail freight transit - most of which is Combined Transport - faces challenges from inadequate feeder lines in both Germany and in Italy. 3️⃣ Rail infrastructure share: Bulgaria tops the list with 34% of its transport infrastructure dedicated to rail, followed by Hungary (19%) and Belgium (18%). The European average stands at 15%, indicating a higher efficiency of rail freight per kilometer compared to road transport. 🚀 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲❓ The trends in rail freight modal share and infrastructure underscore both the potential and the urgent need for targeted investments. Addressing capacity bottlenecks, improving cross-border rail connectivity, and enhancing infrastructure density are essential to ensure rail freight's competitiveness and resilience. Aligning these efforts with the EU's sustainability goals could drive significant progress towards decarbonising freight logistics. 🌍 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: https://lnkd.in/gBCBxA_g #RailFreight #Sustainability #EuropeanLogistics #InfrastructureEfficiency #EU2030

The latest 𝗨𝗜𝗥𝗥 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗜𝗖 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 report offers an in-depth analysis of the sector, highlighting recent challenges and the immense opportunities ahead. 💡𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: 🔹 59% growth in Combined Transport (2010–2023): Evidence of its resilience and its essential role in logistics. 🔹Cross-border connectivity: more than half of all unaccompanied Combined Transport services in Europe are cross-border – Combined Transport is an instrumental part of the EU's single market. 🔹 Future growth potential: Intermodal rail freight is projected to grow by 3% annually until 2040 (according to SCI Verkehr GmbH). 🚀 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲? Combined Transport is the only viable alternative to unimodal road transport, in perfect concordance with the EU's objectives for low-carbon, competitive, and resilient logistics. While rail freight's share has stabilised at 17% (thanks to intermodal rail freight), it's only halfway to reaching its 2030 growth target. With the right framework, Combined Transport can grow, improve, and truly become the backbone of European freight logistics. 🌍 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: https://lnkd.in/gBCBxA_g #CombinedTransport #Sustainability #RailFreight #LogisticsInnovation #EU2030 UIC - International union of railways #UICrail#UICrail
