EIA Intermodal Awards 2010

Date: Wednesday 01 December 2010

Location: Special Focus Seminar Theatre

FREE to attend.

The EIA Intermodal Awards event is a wonderful opportunity to learn about existing intermodal transport solutions. To stimulate innovative, concrete solutions for the intermodal industry, EIA will attribute "Intermodal Awards” to those organizations, who contributed the ‘best‘ solution to promote Intermodal transport in a specific area. The playing field is global and concerns the whole intermodal industry.

Three key judging criteria: the product or service should be in an intermodal environment, in actual commercial operation and innovative in approach. By mentioning the measurable contribution of your company to the environment, your chances to win will increase.

Research projects and feasibility studies are not accepted in this competition, since it is our aim to focus on concrete and existing market realisations.

The annual Intermodal Awards event is officially supported by both the European Commission and European Parliament who accepted a seat in the independent Jury. Other Jury members who are invited to accept a seat are representatives of various transport sectors like rail, road, waterborne, forwarders and shippers (manufacturers).

Awards for which areas?

Best intermodal transport or freight integration service from A to B
Best intermodal transport or logistic product (examples: special wagons, trailors, handling equipment, IT-software etc.)
Best integration of intermodalism into a shipper’s logistic chain.

About the EIA

The European Intermodal Association is the first European association open to all transport modes: rail, road, waterborne, air.

Its aim is to improve the co-operation of the different modes of transport as the logistics' chain still has lots of shortcomings in infrastructural, technical, organisational and legal respect.

Therefore, this neutral organisation with more than 90 members is suitably qualified to discuss controversial subjects and to propose well balanced sustainable solutions in line with and to improve the EU transport policy. In this sense EIA offers its services to the EU Institutions in order to help shaping the appropriate measures.
