Support for Slovakian modal shift
The European Commission has approved a EUR 30 million Slovak scheme to encourage freight transport to shift from road-only to combined road-rail and road-inland waterway transport.
The scheme will run until 31 December 2027. It is intended to support the development of new routes for unaccompanied combined freight transport involving a road leg and further transport by rail and/or inland waterway, and the purchase of new intermodal transport units.
Under the scheme, direct grants will be awarded to companies active in Slovakia’s railfreight sector. The aid will cover up to 49% of the eligible costs to support new routes; and 30% of the eligible costs to support intermodal transport units. (ben)
