Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2011 PROJECT  FINISHED 

"The primary aim of the proposed project ENABLE is to contribute to the external relations of EU with Latin American countries, specifically Argentina and Brazil, in the area of co-modal and intermodal freight transport. The project will stimulate sustainable freight transport systems with Latin American countries.In order to achieve this aim, the work plan of ENABLE entails inventories and surveys to obtain a sound picture of the situation of intermodal freight transport in Latin America; state-of-the-art reviews in Europe that will allow the identification of strengths and innovations of the European freight transport industry and research; and concrete roadmaps to facilitate their effective transfer to the target areas.Special attention will be paid to networking and partnership building actions that will strengthen the dialogue between Europe and Latin America, and foster international cooperation between the two geographical areas. A stakeholders Forum will be established in Latin America. Furthermore, Forum sessions, conferences and other dissemination actions will contribute to the visibility of the project results and engage the stakeholders of both sides in a fruitful dialogue.The partners of the project comprise a team that covers all disciplines that are essential and necessary for the successful implementation of the work plan. The two Latin American partners have a deep knowledge about the intermodal freight transport activities in their countries and the greater region, and they will play the role of agents in the knowledge transfer activities. The European partners are three of the most active organizations in the continent’s intermodal freight transport activities. The consortium will be assisted by the European Intermodal Association (EIA) by engaging its extensive know-how in European innovations, as well as its members’ expertise and contacts in the Latin American intermodal transport society."
