1. 1  Global intermodal trends impacting rail flows  Intermodal Best Practices  The ‘New Green’ (rail in efficient supply chains, logistics, electrification) Peter Wolters Secretary General EIA Session ‘Greener and more efficient railways’ (IN WIDER BLACK SEA AREA)

2. 2 Global trends possibly influencing (rail) flows: Panama

3. 3  New ‘super free’ trade zone EU – USA; largest trade zone world 2015  Mutual recognition technical standards interrupting goods/services flow  New norms for closer trade likely to become standards rest world  Trade will increase USA-EU, but...  Inform yourself into what extend US rail norms/standards impact EU Global trends possibly influencing (rail) flows: new trade zone EIA / Simon

4. 4 Global trends possibly influencing (rail) flows: EIA members’ best practice: hinterland EU China Photo below: arrival first DB Schenker Rail freight train Zhengzhou to Hamburg-Billwerder, 2 August 2013. Map right: Chinese CRCTC network 18 railway terminals (9 operational) Source: EIA Intermodal Yearbook Value Volume Hewlett-Packard intermodal rail users; laptops China-EU, train 50 miles/h. 7,000-mile route

5. 5 Cooperation rail (Lithuanian, Belarusian & Ukrainian Railways) + Ports (Klaipeda & Odessa) + Customs ‘Viking Train’ EIA members’ best practice: landbridge Baltic-Black Sea

6. 6 ‘The New Green’: rail as part of supply chains Old Green Sustainability as PR or marketing argument (not credible long run) We are rail and therefore automatically sustainable New Green Rail (backbone) part in door-to-door supply chains Turning sustainability into profitability (without compromising costs & service levels!) University Delft study: Transport with lowest emissions depends several parameters: scale, engine technology and logistical issues Environmental friendliness depends on size, occupancy rate, load factors ‘Handshake’ rail + maritime global intermodal supply chains

7. This is bad for both profitability and environment Source: Eurostat 2012 + EU Environment Agency data 2010. - - Reality: 1 out of 4 vehicles empty. Average load factor vehicle: 57% - Overall ‘efficiency’: 43%. Costs: € 160 BLN (= saving 160 BLN ;-) The New Green: Making smart use of existing infrastructure

8. The new green Fully loaded vehicles: weight AND volume Rail wagon placed under EU Parliament EU lobby action EIA members (event 2011)

9. 9 ‘Our organisations are convinced that the transformation of Europe’s transport system should be based on natural complementarities between transport modes.’ ‘We support collaborative solutions for transport services opening the way for fully electrified door-to-door multimodal transport’ ‘Network capacity reinforcement and a proper load & energy management will be necessary’. The New Green: Electrification Rail + Automotive + Urban cooperation
