GILBERTO GALLONI PRESIDENT OF EUROPLATFORMS The European Association of freight villages “Best practices in Europe: the example of freight villages” Thessaloniki, November 2006
FIGURES • 60 Freight Villages • 10 Countries • Italy–Spain–Germany–Denmark–Portugal–Luxembourg–Greece–France–Hungary-Ukraine • 2.400 Transport operators
DEFINITION A freight village is a defined area within which all activities relating to transport, logistic and distribution of goods, both for national and International transit are carried out by various operators. A freight village must also be equipped with all the public facilities to carry out the above mentioned operations. In order to encourage intermodal transport for the handling of goods, a freight village must preferably be served by a multiplicity of transport modes (road, rail, deep sea, inland waterway, air).

The case of Bologna Freight Village
Moving heavy traffic from residential areas to the freight village 1985 1990 Congestion First transport operators (60.000 smq)
Specialized and dedicated logistics area • Post-effects • More productivity ton/sqm (+30%) • More competition among transport and logistics companies • More service quality • Less personnel (-30%)
More intermodality • Handling operations • Shunting operations • Intermodal terminal mangement on behalf of RFI (Trenitalia)
New rail connections • Sinergy between maritime port and freight village: Bologna-Ravenna rail service connection • Gravel trains
