Promoting and shifting to a freight multimodal approach is one of the main challenges the ERCI’s Taskforce on Multimodal Logistics has established towards the future. The task force was settled last year to identify best practices on multimodal logistics and foster the modal shift to rail focusing on technological bottlenecks and niche solutions. Join us in this seminar digital for a debate on current trends in multimodality with experts in the field.

In this edition, Mr. Carlo Borghini, Executive Director of the Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking will develop the topic “Shift2Rail 2021 Workplan; Ongoing Projects’’.
