Door-to-door Combined Transport is the future of freight transport in Europe. Through the intelligent interconnection of rail, road and waterways, intermodal freight transport stands for a sustainable greenhouse gas reduction of up to 90% and a reduction of energy demand of up to 70%. At the same time, intermodal transport leads to better working conditions for truck drivers and sustainable relief of congested roads and their residents. Zero Carbon Combined Transport will deliver the decarbonisation of inland freight transport on a well-to-wheel basis by 2050.
Mission:
CT4EU unlocks the potential that Combined Transport (CT) has to offer to the competitiveness of the European economy as well as for the well-being of its citizens. Furthermore, CT4EU aims to establish Combined Transport as a standard for door-to-door freight transport and thus as a solution to some of the most important economic, social and political challenges.
Vision:
To increase the competitiveness of the EU economy: Combined Transport enhances the resource-efficiency of freight transport, contributing significantly to the EU's international competitiveness and promoting clean economic growth across Europe.
To support the success of the re-industrialisation of the EU: CT is an enabler of the Clean Industrial Deal’s re-industrialisation plans by enhancing supply chain resilience and by reducing production costs.
