  • “Le transport combiné est une arme politique plutôt qu’un mode de transport alternatif”
    L’utilisation du transport combiné rail/route ne résulte pas nécessairement en une baisse des émissions de CO2 et de la consommation d’énergie par rapport au transport routier.

Nous estimons que ces groupes PSA et Hutchison sont en train d’établir une hégémonie en Europe et c’est la raison pour laquelle les armateurs préfèrent s’associer entre eux pour s’engager dans d’autres voies.” Jacques Saadé, président du directoire de l’armement CMA CGM, répondait ainsi à une question posée lors de la conférence de presse donnée mercredi dernier à Paris au sujet des résultats de l’exercice 2001, et qui avait trait à l’éventuel intérêt que cet armement français pourrait porter à l’offre de prises de participations que PSA Corp annonce à Singapour.
