A late addition to the programme, the purpose of this paper is to present the available output of the project with emphasis on its transport policy content.
“Green corridors” in freight transportation is a concept introduced in 2007 as an action of the “Freight Transport Logistics Action Plan” of the European Commission. It pursues a corridor approach in developing integrated, efficient and environmentally friendly transportation of freight between major hubs and by relative long distances.
The National Technical University of Athens leads the EU-financed SuperGreen project, which aims at assisting the Commission in defining green corridors. One of the key activities of the project involves the selection of a number of European corridors and their performance benchmarking through a selected set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
The purpose of the proposed paper is to present the available output of the project with emphasis on its transport policy content. More specifically, the green corridor concept will be compared to the notion of “core network corridors” recently introduced by the Commission as an instrument for implementing what comprises the prioritized backbone of the multimodal mobility network in Europe.
