"Le but est de sensibiliser les transporteurs à l'existence et aux avantages de ces divers systèmes, qui deviendront de plus en plus importants pour la survie de l'entreprise. En effet, le transport devenant une part de plus en plus intégrante d'un ensemble logistique, la communication - et donc la communication mobile - deviendra un facteur crucial pour le transporteur", a déclaré Liliane De Wilde, secrétaire général de la SAV, en préambule à la présentation du CD ROM.

Rappelons qu'ERS a conclu un premier accord de coopération avec CTN (Container Train Nederland) en début d'année dans le but de proposer une offre commune au défaut de Rotterdam, vers Prague et Bratislava.
