  2. Commercial vehicles in a multimodal perspectiveLuc Bontemps, FEBIAC

  3. The vehicle industry, a major customer of rail services • Current modal split is somewhat fragile: • Better rail services could shift 14% of goods flows to rail • Deterioration of services could move 30% away from rail

  4. Economic & transport growth in old and new EU 1990-2030: • ‘Modal shift’ is difficult to achieve, as well as ‘decoupling’ of transport growth and economic growth • Decoupling environmental impact of transport from economic growth is realistic and is happening !

  5. EU-policy trend: ‘Modal shift’ is out, ‘Co-modality’ is ‘in’ • This ‘Policy shift’ is not yet happening in Belgium • Rail, water and road must be integrated, but each of them should be optimised as well, especially the road network • Road investments = 1% of Belgian GDP or 4 times less than Netherland • It will take many years before major infrastucture projects enter service • In the meantime: no other option but getting the best out of existing road capacity

  6. Eco-combi: transporting more with less trucks, less pollution, less congestion and without additional safety risks

  7. Swap body 7.82 m Swap body 7.82 m Semitrailer 13.6 m Euro Module System Volvo Truck Corporation

  8. At intermodal nodes, modules can be de/recoupled to small, medium and heavy trucks, and easily put on train/ship

  9. Thanks for your attention !
