Samenvatting

The author considers the prospects for combined transport in Great Britain. Types of combined transport are defined and the situation in Europe outlined. The provisions of the EEC's 1992 Master Plan for a combined transport network are summarised. Measures taken so far in the UK in terms of vehicle design and railway developments are considered. Several constraints are identified including the short distances travelled, the concentration of lorry traffic along certain routes, a traditional prejudice against rail, the need for transhipment and the return of demountable bodies. The considerable environmental benefits are described. Despite these however the author considers that the only incentive to hauliers would be reduced costs.
