Agenda

• The GIFT project: Main aim & objectives

• Assessment Methodology

• List of Key Performance Indicators

• Assessment results

• Proposals for green intermodal freight transport in the S.E.E. region

Main aim & objectives

.

• The main aim of the current project is:– to map, analyze, and evaluate the status of the transport sector in

the GIFT transport network,– propose new policies and strategies in infrastructure, processes,

assets, ICT, legislation, norms and harmonization/ standardization issues, and

– Develop tools & methodologies for CO2 emissions monitoring

…..in order to promote innovative green intermodal freight transport corridors.

• Main objectives

– Identify current status of the freight transport sector

– Improve interoperability and intermodality of freight transport on land, IWW,

and sea

– Identify green corridors in the SEE region by promoting technical innovation

and a shift towards the least polluting and most efficient modes of transport

– Develop an ICT tool for CO2 footprint monitoring & certification

– Develop agreements & MoUs on multi-modal connections

Assessment methodology

o Use of KPIs for the assessment of the corridors based on 6 categories: service quality & efficiency, infrastructure, environmental sustainability, ICT, and Transport market/ Business players

o Collection of data from :o EUROSTAT, EL.STAT., OECDo Operational data from Key players /stakeholders from S.E.E.

regiono EU reports and National Transport studies/roadmapso Data from NGOs and Int. Organizations (π.χ. W.H.O)o Studies from consulting companies (McKinsey, Deloitte)

o Use of transportation models for the calculation of results in Corridor Level

Categorization of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Service Efficiency

• Relative unit cost• Transport time• Frequency of service

Service Quality

• Delay risk• Cargo loss• Cargo damage• Reliability

Environmental Sustainability

• Noise Protection• Polluter CO2

• Polluter SO2

Infrastructure

• Refueling stations• Infrastructure charges• Number of accidents• Electrification• Capacity utilization

Transport market- Business players

• Corridor Competitiveness

• Corridor Freight market

ICT

• Cargo monitoring

Assessment Results (1/3)

Service Efficiency

• Relative unit cost (EUR/ton-Km)• Transport time (h/100Km)• Frequency of service (no. of services/week)

Service Quality• Delay risk (min/100Km)• Cargo loss Scale (1-4)• Cargo damage Scale (1-4)• Reliability (%)

Proposals for green intermodal freight transport in the S.E.E. region

Infrastructure / State• Finalization of the electrification of the

rail network• Simplification of custom formalities and

minimization of borders-crossing time• Establishment of logistics areas (Greece)• Creation of new logistics hubs / freight

villages that support combined transport operations

• Creation of a stable tax environment

ICT• Use of integrated information systems

• Track & trace• Proof of Delivery (PoD)

• Rail network: Introduction of ERTMS

Environment• Financial incentives for new generation

truck fleets (EURO V) • Green certification and measurement of

carbon footprint• Shift to co-modality

Stakeholders / Transport market• Increase vehicle utilization by:

o Decreasing the proportion of empty running miles

Increase authorized vehicle weights (44Tn trucks)

Deliver only when a truck is fully loadedo Increasing the payloads

Flexibility in pick-up & delivery time windows

Cooperation between logistics service providers

• Improve scheduling & routing
