Project acronym: EWTC II

Project title: East West Transport Corriodor II - a green corridor concept within the Northern Transport Axis approach.

Application call: 2

Priority: 2. Internal and external accessibility

Summary description of the project:

The East West Transport Corridor (EWTC) links Minsk,Vilnius, Klaipeda/Kaliningrad with Denmark (Esbjerg) via south Sweden and with Germany via Sassnitz. It includes several TEN-T ports, road and railway links, parts of the Nordic Triangle and Corridor IX B/D in Lithuania/Kaliningrad region. The EWTC is also part of the Northern Transport Axis. Despite drop of trade volumes due to the global financial crises, the east-west trade in BSR is expected to continue to increase. The heavy and growing traffic in the EWTC and its potential to become an important east-west trade route between EU, Russia, Belarus and Far East requires attention. The efficiency is hampered by several hindrances as e.g. lack of facilities in the hubs, quality of port-hinterland connections, low level of intermodal and ITS services. EWTC II is a follow up to the EWTC project completed in 2007 (www.eastwesttc.org). The objective is to use the experiences from EWTC I and implement parts of the EWTC Action Plan.

The EWTC II project intends to develop the hubs as growth centers, strengthen railway concepts and improve accesses to hubs. The ambition is also to develop an innovative testing ground for a green corridor concept as described in the EU "Freight Logistics Action Plan" that could serve as a best practice case in the European perspective. It includes deployment of advanced ITS services as well as development and testing of an information broker system. The long term goal is to develop the EWTC to an efficient 'green' transport corridor able to match European policies and market demands for growing freight transport.

The project is composed of 6 WPs dedicated to various aspects of the green corridor development, resulting in an EWTC Green Corridor Action Plan, guidelines, feasibility studies and design plans for concrete infrastructure improvements, a number of business plans and concepts, ICT-based tools and business plans.

A durable network of stakeholders, the EWTC Association, will be developed. Further, the project has ambition to unlock some rail and maritime transport investments based on studies and designs envisaged in the project lifetime. EWTC II plans to secure political support for the process towards the green corridor status and that the whole EWTC should become a part of the TEN-T network extended to Russia (Northern Axis) and Belarus. The EWTC will also strive to be included in the EU strategy/action plan for the BSR. The partnership coming from Denmark, Sweden, Lithuania and Germany reflects a cross-sector approach with strong commitment from national, regional and local authorities, ports, universities and private stakeholders. Russian partners from Kaliningrad Oblast are integrated in the project as associated partners.

The EWTC has political support from the national transport ministries in Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania and Mecklenburg/V and from Euroregion Baltic.

Achievements of the project so far:

The East West Transport Corridor (EWTC) links Minsk, Vilnius, Klaipeda/Kaliningrad with Denmark Sweden and Germany. Despite drop of trade volumes due to the global financial crises, the east-west trade in BSR is expected to continue to increase. The heavy and growing traffic in the EWTC and its potential to become an important east-west trade route between EU, Russia, Belarus and Far East requires attention. The efficiency is hampered by several hindrances as e.g. lack of facilities in hubs, quality of port-hinterland connections, low level of intermodal and ITS services. The long term goal is to develop the EWTC to an efficient 'green' transport corridor able to match European policies and market demands for growing freight transport. As the project is has entered the last year of its 3 year lifespan, several reports and findings have been issued on the project website www.ewtc2.eu.

A few of the most relevant ones for more sustainable transport operations in an European perspective and developed within the project, are the Green Corridor Manual, the ITS solution Information Broker System and a strategy for securing service of better quality for truck drivers. Being one of the biggest topics of focus in the project, the concept of Green Corridors has received a lot of interest during the project lifetime. Experts in the field of eco-efficient transport have taken part in producing the first parts of a so called “Green Corridor Manual”. The complete manual has been published after intense work during the project lifetime. The Information Broker system has been developed and tested together with industry stakeholders. The final report on the platform has been published and is available on the project website. The concept has also received wider interest as it was shortlisted as one of the top three initiatives contributing to

green corridor development at the first ever international Green Corridor Demo Day held in Gothenburg in the fall of 2011.The importance of heavy vehicles on the roads will continue to be of high importance thoughout Europe. Mutual rules regarding driving and rest time regulations have been developed that have to be followed by the drivers. However, truck drivers' need for breaks, as well as other facilities to fulfill their responsibilities, is today met with different levels of quality. Therefore a strategy has been developed in the project, based on mapping the driving & rest time regulations of the corridor countries, an inventory of existing truck stops in the corridor, interviews with drivers and transport leaders, an overview of ITS-solutions for road transports, study visits and an industry stakeholder seminar. A detailed plan for a modern, safe and secure truck stop has been developed as a part of the project.
