2. SETRIS: Strengthening European Transport Research and Innovation Strategies
The aim of SETRIS is to deliver a cohesive and coordinated approach to research and innovation strategies for all transport modes in Europe through the following objectives:
Updating of research agendas and roadmaps at modal and multi-modal level, taking into account user needs and policy requirements.
Defining implementation plans, based on business scenarios, the research agendas and roadmaps.
Monitoring the status of progress of transport research and innovation activities towards the commonly identified needs and agreed objectives.
Developing links and coordination strategies between the transport-related ETPs and technology platforms existing at national level in Member States and Associated Countries, in order to ensure synergies and convergence.
Increasing visibility of research and innovation activities, and contributing to the dissemination of results (e.g. through large conferences, thematic events, showcases, databases, website support, newsletters and other publications) among others the TRA 2018 in Vienna

6. WP2 Outputs WP Objective
End-to-end Logistics
WP Objective
To identify and assess the level of integration foreseen by the relevant strategic research and innovation agendas (SRIAs) when targeting the delivery of a seamless freight transport and logistics operation across Europe.
Aim of achieving a truly integrated transport system for sustainable and efficient logistics
To maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of freight transport system supported by current infrastructure, including corridors and hubs, and maximising socio-economic impact of future infrastructure developments.
To maximize the support to EU policies, in particular transport, energy and environment policies by increasing vehicles´ load factors, asset utilization and minimising empty travels, thereby increasing overall system sustainability.

7. WP2 Outputs Important definition developed
End-to-end Logistics
Important definition developed
A truly integrated transport system for sustainable and efficient logistics is based on an open and global system of transport and logistics assets, hubs, resources and services operated (in an open environment and framework conditions) by individual companies.
They are fully visible and accessible to market players, hence creating a network of logistics networks.
The coordination of logistics, transport, infrastructure and supply networks aims to move, store, supply and use physical objects throughout the world in a manner that is economically, environmentally and socially efficient, secure and sustainable.
The system will be based on physical, digital, and operational interconnectivity, enabled through modularisation as well as standardisation interfaces and protocols’’.

8. WP2 Outputs
End-to-end Logistics
Key characteristics, components and requirements of the system in the urban and long distance contexts
Balance expectations from people, planet and profits perspectives

9. WP2 Outputs Urban Transport Context
End-to-end Logistics
Urban Transport Context
To achieve a full integration of freight flows in cities’ operations and activities that allow citizens to access the goods they require and the goods to reach the citizens, while at the same time supporting sustainable development aimed to:
Increase energy efficiency of the urban logistics system as a whole adding to the expected gains in the energy efficiency of vehicles and electrification;
Improve the urban environment by increasing air quality and reducing noise and progressing towards city logistics decarbonization;
Increase customer satisfaction by delivering the goods on time and improving the reliability of the systems;
Increase safety and security, reducing injuries and fatalities as well as cargo loss or damage.

10. WP2 Outputs Long-distance Transport Context
End-to-end Logistics
Long-distance Transport Context
Achievement of EU wide co-modal transport services within a well synchronized, smart and seamless network, supported by corridors and hubs, providing optimal support to global supply chains door-to-door aiming to:
Increase energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy and electrification.
Progress in the reduction of CO2 and other pollutants.
Achieve seamless network and transport integration including cross border co-modal transport operations ensuring both smooth transport and security for Europe.
Increase cost efficiency

11. WP2 Outputs Common vision for Urban and Long-distance
End-to-end Logistics
Common vision for Urban and Long-distance
Seamless and fully operational long distance and last mile transport links

12. WP2 Outputs
End-to-end Logistics
Trends and policies impacting the process of its achievement
Policy and society push towards low carbon, low energy and circular economy.
Society moving to a shared and collaborative economy.
Demographical change and ageing society.
E-Commerce is growing at a double digit rate in all European Countries.
E-commerce and product customization is moving transport demand to small size shipments that are a challenge for efficient and sustainable management of logistics.
Integration of transportation as a policy support.
Societal push for a better utilization of existing infrastructure rather than building much more new infrastructure unless clear return for society.
Fast technology developments responding to a changing world.

18. SRAI Plan (SRAIP)
Freight Transport and Logistics
STRIA – EU’s Strategic Transport Research & Innovation Agenda: outlines the steps needed to support and speed-up the research, innovation and deployment process leading to radical technology changes in transport.
The Strategic Research Agenda and Implementation Plan (SRAIP) sets up a mechanism to implement, monitor and follow up the STRIA in coordination with Member States, regional authorities and cities and in cooperation with research community and the private sector.

19. Analysis: truly integrated transport system
Freight Transport and Logistics
Addressing greenhouse gas emissions and energy challenges by increasing end-to-end efficiency:
Accountability and comparability of transport and logistics costs (€, CO2 and other emissions, energy, land use and congestion )
Application of the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) methodological approach/framework , with a view to developing practical logistics sector guidance for the GHG protocol.
Horizontal and vertical collaboration is common practice between shippers and Logistics Service Providers
Further deployment and development of technical equipment and modular load units

20. Analysis: truly integrated transport system
Freight Transport and Logistics
The Truly Integrated Transport System In The Long-distance Context :
Resilient transport and logistics networks. Seamless and secure cross-border transport operations
“Smart” hubs bearing enabling the emerging needs of the transport industries to serve supply chains and manufacturing networks with a customer-oriented focus.
Fully available & visible & available intermodal transport services
Seamless information exchange in end-to-end logistics
Business models, harmonisation of regulation and workforce
Improved and new business models
Harmonisation of regulation to boost innovation

21. Recommendations
Freight Transport and Logistics
The Digital Transport and Logistics Forum should assist with the implementation of an integrated transport system and support the following:
A standard framework for freight information exchange, for a multi-modal and integrated transport system for long-distant freight, connected to TEN-T.
A single European transport document (the multimodal eWaybill) for the carriage of all goods.
A single window concept for all forms of reporting to the authorities, independent of mode or combination of modes of transport.
A Directive for a European Integrated Transport Information System.
A European Committee to promote harmonised procedures and standardisation for a multi-modal and integrated transport system with long-distant freight.
