Overview

Background & policy context:

The SPIN project is funded by the European Commission, DG TREN.

SPIN is attached to the Subprogramme Area 'Driving forces in transport'.

Objectives:

The aim of the project was to develop a tool, which can identify opportunities and barriers in achieving a modal shift in freight transport. Application of the tool would contribute to the promotion of intermodal transport and to a better alignment of intermodal services with supply chain requirements.

The objectives of SPIN were the following:

  • To develop a toolbox to apply at business and regional level, to assess and demonstrate the potential of intermodal transport for various user groups.
  • To test and evaluate the toolbox by means of in depth case-studies in practice in various businesses and Member States.
  • To gain insight on the impact of a modal shift on supply chains.
  • To gain insight on the potential for modal shift on EU- level.
  • To provide broad access to the scanning tool by means of a web-based installation.
