The new president of France\u2019s multi-modal transport association, the Groupement National des Transports Combin\u00e9s (GNTC), R\u00e9my Crochet, has highlighted good quality train paths as the priority if road hauliers are to be attracted to rail.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>He said this was fundamental to initiating a massive modal shift favouring rail and waterways.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, this will be our focus, but not be the only one. France can no longer remain on the sidelines of Europe when it comes to the P400 gauge, so we will be lobbying to ensure that the work allowing four meter-high road trailers to travel on all the major routes on the network is completed as quickly as possible,\u201d he underlined in an interview with French media.<\/p>\n
