PROMIT - Promoting Innovative Intermodal Freight Transport

PROMIT was a coordination project funded by the European Commission addressing the promotion of intermodal transport. The project offered an expert platform for the improvement of intermodal transport technologies and methods. PROMIT contained 5 cluster initiatives:

• intermodal business models
• intermodal technologies
• information and communication technologies
• intermodal transport processing and security 
• political aspects of intermodal transport.

PROMIT supported the shift to intermodal transport modes by the dissemination of information about innovative services and products as well as best practice guides for the requirements and needs of potential users and political decision makers. PROMIT organized periodical cluster workshops and conferences. Results were published as best practice guides and political recommendations. Furthermore a benchmarking initiative exists for the collection and evaluation of intermodal indicators.
