II. Reasons for success Integration of rail in the supply chain Consolidation of Rail Logistic Operators Operators Container terminals (TCB, Best) Shipping companies (MSC, etc) Truck companies (Transp. Portuarios) Value added services Direct rail transport and triangulations Knowledge of the needs of importers, exporters, freight forwarders and logistics operators Management of empties Customs formalities Haulage Depot Rail efficiency improvement + Reliability + Productivity + Competition Substantial improvement of the level of service and customer orientation
III. Challenges for the future 1. Complete liberalization (among traction providers and rail logistics operators) 2. Infrastructure improvements: 750 m Barcelona-Zaragoza-Madrid Connection Spain- France 3. Reduction of costs to compete with decreasing road prices 4. Increase mixed trains and combination of traffics Among customers / competitors (car industry) Among destinations and origins (rail hubs) Between typologies ( continental/maritime, swap bodies-tank containers, etc..)
