Trans-European Combined Transport network

• Railways and inland waterways suitable for combined transport and shipping which, combined where appropriate with the shortest possible initial and/or terminal road haulage, permit the long-distance transport of goods
• Inter-modal terminals equipped with installations permitting transhipment between railways, inland waterways, shipping routes and roads
• Suitable rolling stock, on a provisional basis, where the characteristics of the infrastructure, as yet unadapted, so require.
