5. The EU Vision
EU Transport Policy Vision (EC 2011):
Reduce Europe's dependence on imported oil
Cut carbon emissions in transport by 60% by 2050
Modal shift: 30% off road by 2030 – 50 % by 2050
Multi-modal: European corridor network (low carbon/green)
CO2-free movement of goods in major urban centres by 2030
White Paper 2011: Roadmap to a Single European Transport
Area - Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport
system
7. Future Supply Chain 2016
