Study presentation - Impacts of the proposed amendments to the Weights and Dimensions Directive

The proposals tabled by the European Commission as part of the Greening Freight Transport Package include the revision of the Directive on the Weights and Dimensions of road vehicles. The stated aims of the amendment are to promote zero-emission vehicles, to facilitate the use of heavier and longer vehicles in cross-border transport, and to support intermodal transport.

The five associations CER, ERFA, UIC, UIP and UIRR have commissioned the German consulting company d-fine GmbH to analyse the impacts of the proposed measures on Combined Transport, on conventional rail freight, on road transport infrastructure and on a potential reverse modal shift from rail to road.

CER, ERFA, UIC, UIP and UIRR have the pleasure to invite you to the online presentation of the Study on the Impacts of the Proposed Amendments to the Weights and Dimensions Directive on Combined Transport and Rail Freight Transport.
