Intermodality plays a crucial role in the transport sector in Europe. It is particularly important for long-distance transport of non-bulk goods and in the hinterland traffic of container seaports.

This second handbook shows how the intermodal transport industry has been making progress and successfully adapting to changing requirements and circumstances

The articles are organized in 49 fact sheets clustered around five chapters.

The book gives examples of practical intermodal transport development. Each factsheet presents its issue briefly but targeted and each is unique in scope. All fact sheets together create a good understanding of the most relevant issues and forces in the practice of intermodal transport development.

The book is particularly valuable for training and education purposes. Deliberately opened to a large public, EIA and the EIRAC consortium give you the rare opportunity to consult it for free on our website* !
