Commercial vehicles in a
multimodal perspective
Luc Bontemps, FEBIAC
• The vehicle industry, a major customer of rail services
Modal split of freight transport flows within the vehicles industry
Supply of vehicle components
& modules to assembly plants
Truck
76%
Train
14%
Ship
9%
Transport mode used for:
Vehicles distribution
to dealers
62%
23%
15%
Source: ACEA
• Current modal split is somewhat fragile:
– Better rail services could shift 14% of goods flows to rail
– Deterioration of services could move 30% away from rail
•
Economic & transport growth in old and new EU 1990-2030:
Yearly transport growth and GDP-growth

‘Modal shift’ is difficult to achieve, as well as ‘decoupling’ of transport growth
and economic growth
Decoupling environmental impact of transport from economic growth
is realistic and is happening !

• EU-policy trend: ‘Modal shift’ is out, ‘Co-modality’ is ‘in’
• This ‘Policy shift’ is not yet happening in Belgium
• Rail, water and road must be integrated, but each of them should be
optimised as well, especially the road network
• Road investments = 1% of Belgian GDP or 4 times less than Netherland
• It will take many years before major infrastucture projects enter service
• In the meantime: no other option but getting the best out of
existing road capacity
Eco-combi: transporting more with less trucks, less pollution,
less congestion and without additional safety risks

At intermodal nodes, modules can be de/recoupled to small,
medium and heavy trucks, and easily put on train/ship
