The TIGER project (“Transit via Innovative Gateway concepts solving European – intermodal Rail needs”) was set-up for the development of Rail transport in competitive and co-modal freight logistics chains.
TIGER will study the necessary step changes for providing a solution to EU ports and road congestion in order to keep the traffic moving through the European ports, to increase rail freight’s market share and improving the Rail Network productivity.
Four separate demonstrators were planned to support the development of intermodality in Europe (Genoa Fast Corridor, Mariplat, Innovatice Port & Hinterland Operations and Intermodal Network 2015).
