Reducing the Negative Impact of Transport on the Environment by Applying Intermodal Transport

Veliki problem današnjice koji je izravan utjecaj prometa su klimatske promjene. Sve više može se svjedočiti promjenama koje se događaju u temperaturi zraka te vremenskim prilikama odnosno neprilikama, a koje su nastajale godinama kroz loše, neprihvatljivo i nepotrebno iskorištavanje fosilnih goriva. Razlog razvitka intermodalnog transporta je vrlo jasan i jednostavan, a to je povećanje robnih tokova, održivi razvoj i cilj postizanja što veće ekonomičnost prijevoza tereta te na kraju razviti sustav koji će biti najprihvatljiviji za očuvanje okoliša. Razvojem i ulaganjem u intermodalni transport se nastoji smanjiti korištenje cestovnog transporta kao glavnog i dominantnog vida transporta.A big problem today, which is a direct influence of traffic, is climate change. More and more we can witness the changes that are happening in the air temperature and the weather, that is, difficulties, which have been created for years through the bad, unacceptable and unnecessary use of fossil fuels. The reason for the development of intermodal transport is very clear and simple, which is the increase of goods flows, sustainable development and the goal of achieving the greatest possible economy of freight transport and ultimately developing a system that will be the most acceptable for environmental protection. The development and investment in intermodal transport aims to reduce the use of road transport as the main and dominant form of transport
