20. Page 20Final Conference, Rome (Italy), 21 st March 2007 Definition freight village 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).

21. Page 21Final Conference, Rome (Italy), 21 st March 2007 Manage the exponential increase of freight transport in the optimal way The integrated model of freight village is preferable to the non-integrated and scattered one: – more economic – efficient. The FVs are the only transport infrastructures that could offer the required infrastructures to develop: RAIL/ROAD TRANSPORT SYNERGIC ACTIONS WITH THE PORTS INTERMODALITY The role of FVs

22. Page 22Final Conference, Rome (Italy), 21 st March 2007 No heavy traffic inside the urban areas Strategic construction of logistics infrastructures increase the competitiveness of the transport and logistics companies in order to provide the production system with more efficient services Promote the rail transport Objectives + Intermodality + Productivity - Congestion
