Abstract
FREIGHTVISION, 35 policy actions were identified to influence the freight transport system with regard to the project’s four sustainability criteria. These actions are related to road transport, rail transport, IWW and maritime transport, supply chain, energy supplier and vehicle supplier. The analysis of each action covers experience and feasibility, potential impact on each of the four sustainability criteria, pro and contra arguments, RTD and transport policy tasks, milestones and a conclusion. This chapter summarizes this analysis.
