Cross-border sustainable and intelligent logistics
SMARTLOGI aims to enhance the operational and institutional cooperation on sustainable multimodal freight transport options, tackling the administrative and technological issues currently hindering additional modal shift from road to rail thus decreasing the impact of freight transport in terms of pollution, GHG emissions and noise. This will be achieved through a cross-border action plan (WP3) that will be tested through feasibility studies and joint pilot actions (WP4), leading to the elaboration of a strategy for enhancing cross-border multimodal transport (WP5), that will be
adopted both at operational level by PPs and at institutional level by two EGTCs of the Programme Area, for the creation of a long-term crossborder institutional cooperation framework on freight transport. The project’s results will be used by both PPs and by the other logistic nodes (ports / inland terminals) and policy makers at regional and national level. These are also the main target groups of the project, together with terminal and logistic operators. They will be reached both through wide communication means (e.g. press releases, articles, website) but mainly through dedicated activities (e-newsletters and targeted events). SMARTLOGI will make multimodal transport more competitive and attractive, thus increasing the modal shift from road to rail and contributing to the safeguard of the environment of the whole Programme Area.
