Preface
This book has been written on the basis of the research done between 2008 and 2010 as part of the European Commission funded FREIGHTVISION project. The “FREIGHTVISION – Freight Transport 2050 Foresight” project was funded by the Directorate-General for Energy and Transport to design a long-term vision for European freight transport in 2050 and to identify actions and research to progress appropriate freight transport measures in Europe. The project was carried out as a foresight process encompassing four conferences in which the project team identified and developed with the aid of more than 100 experts an action plan for securing long-term freight transport in Europe. The book provides insights into the freight-transport visions and backcasts identified for 2035 and 2050, issues which need to be addressed and measures which were assessed to be part of future paths to assure an economical, environmental and social freight transport system. It is to be noted that the book represents the views of the authors and not necessarily those of the European Commission or the FREIGHTVISION Expert Group, either individually or collectively. The FREIGHTVISION consortium was comprised of 13 organisations of 10 European countries: AustriaTech – Federal Agency for Technological Measures, Vienna – Prime Contractor CVUT – Czech Technical University, Praha DTU – Technical University of Denmark, Kgs.
