The focus of EUTRALOG was on the European Transport Industry and its practices. The ambition of EUTRALOG project was to create a creative forum where research, industry and policy meet to exchange and develop RTD ideas and recommendations to how research and policy together can strengthen and push the process toward a fully integrated, seamless and efficient, sustainable transport system. This implies thematic propositions and project ideas, as well as recommendations to how this dialogue can be accommodated and enhanced on a European scale in the future. Short, medium and long-term steps have been envisaged. EUTRALOG also aimed at getting a better knowledge of what is going on in the fields of logistics and transport in Europe and in other countries, i.e. mainly in the NAS, in the Asian-Pacific region and in North America. |
