THE PROJECT IN FEW WORDS
The Corridor D project is part of the European Commission promotion plan to
improve the use of rail freight transport and to enhance sustainable mobility
by encouraging the modal shift from road to rail. In October 2010, the European Commission published the Regulation n° 913/2010 concerning a European Rail Network for competitive freight. It aims at setting up a high-quality infrastructure management and increasing the competitiveness of 9 main freight corridors, including RFC 6, which is quite compliant with corridor D project. |
