Summary
With the investigation for two sites, some parameters will be identified to evaluated the impact of “Less
than wagon load”. These results will be used to extrapolate the potential benefit in the most important
logistical cluster in Europe. To extrapolate the impact to other clusters, we will take into account different
parameters of the logistical cluster that will be evaluated:
- Size and volume indicators
- Capacity of rail traffic;
- Land use of the cluster and capacity to implement the specific “Less than wagon load” services;
- Profile of the cluster in terms of users;
- Cost levels;
- Etc.
This task will be done based on desk research. This extrapolation will allow to assess the environmental
benefit of the full potential of implementing “Less than Wagon Load” for the whole European society.
