EU to promote shift from road to rail in Italy


The European Commission has approved an Italian support scheme to encourage the shift of freight traffic from road to rail in the region of Emilia-Romagna in Italy. The scheme, which has an overall budget of EUR 6 million and will run until 2022, aims to increase the share of rail and intermodal freight transport in the region.

 

The public funding will be provided to new rail freight transport services carried out along a route of maximum 120 km within the regional territory. The aid takes the form of a subsidy to logistics companies and multimodal transport operators, incentivising them to switch to rail transport. (ben)
