Objectives
- To analyze the different elements that must be combined for the provision of rail-port services and to give the necessary training and information to those people who are going to decide and manage logistics chains in which the railway can be a profitable alternative by service, cost or time.
- To know the infrastructures and equipment necessary for the use of the railway.
- Promote the use of rail transport by disseminating its characteristics and particularities.
How?
- Publicizing the concept of co-modality as a tool for improving transport management.
