Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area -
Towards a competitive and resource efficient
transport system
The European Commission adopted a roadmap of 40 concrete initiatives for
the next decade to build a competitive transport system that will increase
mobility, remove major barriers in key areas and fuel growth and
employment. At the same time, the proposals will dramatically reduce
Europe's dependence on imported oil and cut carbon emissions in
transport by 60% by 2050.
3. No more conventionally-fuelled cars in cities.
40% use of sustainable low carbon fuels in
aviation; at least 40% cut in shipping emissions.
A 50% shift of medium distance intercity
passenger and freight journeys from road to
rail and waterborne transport.
All of which will contribute to a 60% cut in
transport emissions by the middle of the
century.
4. Is the EU actually headed in this direction?
What are the current international statistics
saying?

13. How do we manage freight corridors?
The public see bigger trucks as bigger threats
As they now do bigger ships!
Roundabouts are used to ease traffic congestion
but have a large impact on vehicle economy
Separate freight and commuter corridors

Predict 1 of 5 futures
Scenario 1: Untamed Economy – Impending Collapse
Scenario 2: Mega-efficiency in Megacities
Scenario 3: Customized Lifestyles
Scenario 4: Paralyzing Protectionism
Scenario 5: Global Resilience – Local Adaptation

16. Rising fuel costs drove costs on imported goods
beyond the reach of the average NZer
Exports were stifled by a mixture of high carbon
footprint taxes and inflated transport costs
Larger ships reduced the number of port calls and
inventory duty cycles went from 4 to 6 then to 8
weeks
Cost of holding inventory doubled – costs were
passed directly onto consumers
17. The development of the ROIL (Road/Rail)
network and internal super-hubs connected by
self powered trailer units allowed easy modal
transfers.
Renewable green energy sources, particularly
solar, reduced the reliance on fossil fuels
The development of separate freight and
commuter corridors increased the logistics
sector efficiencies.
