Environmental performance of freight transport (Marco Polo II)

This procedure aims to reduce the environmental impact of transporting goods by shifting freight from roads to more sustainable modes of transport, such as rail, inland waterways, and maritime shipping. By promoting multimodal transport, the EU seeks to lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce traffic congestion across the continent.

This initiative primarily affects logistics companies, transport operators, and infrastructure managers. It encourages the adoption of combined transport solutions to create a greener and more efficient European transport network.
