What do we need to do?
Rail must succeed in catching up if it is to transport significantly more freight volumes than today. To achieve this, the levers must be set at higher capacities, more efficient processes and greater reliability, and rail must continue to expand its portfolio of capabilities. CT has a key role to play in all of this. However, the predicted growth prospects for CT are anything but a foregone conclusion: broken transport chains are more demanding and generally less efficient operationally than monomodal transports. Action is needed for strong CT in a variety of areas: Sufficient network and terminal capacities must be created, incentives and facilitations must be maintained and expanded, and technical innovations, digitalization along the entire transport chain, and platform solutions must be reflected in more attractive and new transport offerings.
