Abstract

Since 1992, European transport policy has emphasized a shift to more eco-friendly transport modes, such as rail and inland waterways, to reduce the dominance of road transport. However, this policy direction has met with limited success, presenting a significant problem setting: the challenge of gaining acceptance for modal shift policies in the freight transport sector. To address this issue, this study aims to assess the acceptance of modal shift policies among shippers and logistics service providers. Using a mixed-methods approach including 131 survey responses and one focus group discussion, with a geographical focus on Austria, Germany and the Benelux countries, this research examines the acceptance of modal shift policies, categorized into push, and pull strategies, through five hypotheses. The results show a strong preference for pull measures and emphasize the need for EU-wide policy harmonization and improved infrastructure to increase the competitiveness of eco-friendly transport modes.

评估托运人和物流供应商对模式转换政策的接受程度

自1992年以来，欧洲的交通政策一直强调转向更环保的交通方式，如铁路和内陆水道，以减少公路运输的主导地位。然而，这一政策方向取得了有限的成功，提出了一个重大的问题：在货运部门获得对模式转换政策的接受的挑战。为了解决这个问题，本研究旨在评估托运人和物流服务提供商对模式转换政策的接受程度。本研究采用混合方法，包括131份调查问卷和一次焦点小组讨论，并以奥地利、德国和比荷卢三国为地理重点，通过五个假设，检验了人们对模式转变政策的接受程度，这些政策分为推式和拉式策略。结果显示，人们强烈倾向于采取拉动措施，并强调需要在欧盟范围内协调政策和改善基础设施，以提高环保交通方式的竞争力。

期刊介绍： Transport Policy is an international journal aimed at bridging the gap between theory and practice in transport. Its subject areas reflect the concerns of policymakers in government, industry, voluntary organisations and the public at large, providing independent, original and rigorous analysis to understand how policy decisions have been taken, monitor their effects, and suggest how they may be improved. The journal treats the transport sector comprehensively, and in the context of other sectors including energy, housing, industry and planning. All modes are covered: land, sea and air; road and rail; public and private; motorised and non-motorised; passenger and freight.
