In view of the Combined Transport Directive (CTD) amendment, the EU Commission proposed an alternative definition of combined transport services. In the legislators’ view, combined transport operations should include intermodal freight operations that carry out at least 40 per cent of transport without using trucks. For UIRR and the intermodal sector, the definition could be simpler and easier to adapt to the goals set for 2035, e.g., a combined transport ratio of 60 per cent non-road and 40 per cent road haulage.
