26 Conclusion and outlook With the early results achieved, raiload opens an avenue for further out of-the-box ideas to tackle the enormous challenges ahead in hinterland rail container transport. The growth of hinterland transport volumes offers rail transport a unique chance for gaining higher market shares and hence supporting CO2 reduction and energy saving strategies. Rail transport networks with rail-rail loading with integrated buffer (i.e. rail network nodes) indicate promising logistics solutions for the future. Co- and inter modality with rail transport stays on top of the European transport agenda 2020 and beyond. Version 0-1 Page 26
