Within the context of the TEN-T Mediterranean Corridor Global Project,

this Action focuses on freight transport connecting Lyon and Madrid

(CLYMA) to enable a coordinated implementation of the network. It

comprises of studies on the organization and optimal implementation of

the TEN-T network, taking into account long-term perspectives,

environmental aspects and associated needs, as well as studies that

promote environmental sustainability, resource efficiency and low–carbon

transport within an integrated transport concept. This should stimulate

the deployment of the Green Corridor concept as introduced in the Freight

Logistic Action Plan. The project also intends to develop a managerial

structure for the intermodal corridor.

The TEN-T Core Mediterranean Corridor will link ports inthe south western Mediterranean region to the Ukrainianborder with Hungary through the South East of France,crossing the Alps towards the North of Italy and throughSlovenia. This corridor of more than 5.000 km, crosses sixcountries and 21 European (NUTS-2) regions. There are11 maritime core network ports, 3 inland core networkports and 16 core network airports on the corridor.

The Mediterranean Corridor is a transversal line that crossesEurope from the East to the West and is interconnectedwith most of the other corridors. It is connected to theAtlantic Corridor in Madrid; to the North Sea - MediterraneanCorridor in Lyon and Marseille; to the Rhine-Alpine Corridorin Novara and Milan; to the Scandinavian-MediterraneanCorridor in Verona; to the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor in Venice,Bolonia and Ravena; and to Orient/East-Med and Rhin-Danube in Budapest.

The development of the long term objectives of the TEN-T and, in particular, the development of the corridors thatshall enable a coordinated implementation of the CoreNetwork is one of the most important objectives of theCommission Implementing Decision C(2012) 18510.

The TEN-T Core Network corridor: The Mediterranean Corridor

The implementation of the Mediterranean Corridor mustcomprise:

Multimodal aspects considering the road, rail, air,inland navigation and maritime navigation modesand their integration, interconnection andinteroperability.

The development of the “green corridor” conceptincluding the development of new technologies andtechniques, intermodal solutions, service optimizationand the measurement of the “greener” activities.

Determining the investment options consideringpublic and private funds synergies and the mainbottlenecks that limit the development of servicesalong the corridor.

The development of managerial structures,considering the multimodal character of the corridorin which all the corridor stakeholders will berepresented.

General outline and context of theCLYMA project

CLYMA project consists of the implementation of thecorridor approach to a section of the Mediterranean corridor,concretely to the Western part of the corridor and specificallyto the Lyon - Madrid Axis. This Axis includes Madrid,Guadalajara, Zaragoza, Lleida, Tarragona, Barcelona,Girona, the Spanish - French border through Le Boulouand Port Bou, Perpignan, Narbonne, Montpellier, Marseille,Nîmes, Valence and Lyon. It crosses seven Europeanregions (Madrid, Castilla - La Mancha, Aragón, Catalunya,Languedoc - Roussillon, Provence - Alpes - Côte d’Azurand Rhône - Alpes). It represents 28% of the whole corridorlength, 39% of the population and 51% of the grossdomestic product (GDP), not including Croatia. The Lyon-Madrid Section, with a GDP of 819 billion euro and 28.5millions inhabitants, represents 6.7% and 5.7% of EU-27GDP and population respectively.

Main objectives of the CLYMAproject

The main objectives of the Action are:

To develop an efficient intermodal managerialstructure for the Axis as a pilot system for the wholeCorridor.

To develop the “green corridor” concept in the Lyon- Madrid Axis as a pilot system scalable to the wholeCorridor.

To identify the main bottlenecks on the corridor andto propose solutions to these bottlenecks.

To develop an analysis of supply and demand onthe Axis.

To develop a strategic plan for the ICT integrationamong the Axis agents and administrations in orderto facilitate the coordination and execution ofintermodal activities.

To develop an efficient promotion of the Axis as asection of the Mediterranean Corridor.

Analysis of the current and future situation of

the Lyon - Madrid Axis

The objective of the activity is to define a coherentand transparent approach to maximise the EU addedvalue of the TEN-T, addressing aspects of networkfragmentation related to missing links, multimodality,and adequate connections to neighboring and thirdcountries, as well as to ensure adequategeographical coverage. This activity includes:

The development of a demand study on theLyon - Madrid Axis.

The preparation of a supply study on the Lyon- Madrid Axis.

The development of a catalogue of terminalsand associated services along the Axis.

Development of an intermodal corridor

The objective of the activity is to identify the currentproblems and needs in the Lyon - Madrid Axis andto develop a plan to overcome these problems andto prepare a financial analysis linked to the proposedsolutions.

It is necessary to identify the existing problems onthe Axis, considering not only the infrastructure -related but also other problems. It is necessary to:

Identify the infrastructure bottlenecks andcrossbording problems on the Lyon - MadridAxis. As some examples: adaptation of thecrossbording section in Port Bou to UIC gauge,Lyon rail bypass, improvement in Nîmes-Montpellier rail section, adaptation of the Madrid– Zaragoza-Barcelona border sidetracks to 750m length trains, rail and road accesses to thePort of Barcelona, etc.

To identify the technical problems. Examplesinclude rail electrification in different voltages,signaling systems, communications and ICT, etc.

To identify the existing organisational problems(slots management, customs problems,inspection problems, change of drivers at theborder, idiomatic problems, etc.).

To analyse the liberalisation of rail services onthe Lyon - Madrid Axis.

The development of the Madrid-Barcelona highspeed line (opened in February 2008) is an exampleof a successful story on the Lyon - Madrid Axis. Thisnew 621 km line has halved the journey time betweenboth cities and has attracted millions of passengersfrom air and road to rail, with an estimated reductionof 140.000 tones of CO2 emissions per year. Butproblems in rail freight transport still remain. Thehigh speed line is not suitable for cargo, and theold Iberian gauge line allows only non-competitive400-meter-length trains. In fact, these recentinfrastructure improvements have not modified themodal cargo split as freight is currently still sentmostly by road. Therefore further steps are required.

The activity includes:

The identification of current problems on theLyon - Madrid Section of the Mediterraneancorridor.

The needs of terminals and services that allowfor the development of an efficient andcompetitive intermodal supply.

The elaboration of an intermodal developmentplan for the Lyon - Madrid Axis.

The development of an investment and financialanalysis on the axis.

Creating an intermodal management

structure for the Lyon - Madrid Axis in the

Mediterranean corridor

The objective of the activity is the design of anintermodal managerial structure for the Lyon - MadridAxis. This structure must be extensible to the rest ofthe corridor through the addition of new members witha goal of developing a Corridor management structurein the Global Project based on the results of this Action.The managerial structure should be in charge of theintermodal coordination of the corridor, setting thepriorities for intermodal developments, as well asfacilitate the relationships between the different transportmodes and the different administrations involved.

The intermodal management structure for the corridormust include all stakeholders: Member States,European regions, rail infrastructure managers, maritimeand inland port managers, airport managers, terminals,rail operators and end users. This calls for theparticipation of public and private actors (both at stateand at regional levels) as well as the participation ofall different transport modes on the corridor.

The development and implementation of this activitywill be managed with the Corridor Coordinatorappointed by the European Commission and withthe Commission Services. This activity includes:

A benchmarking on Corridor ManagementModels.

The design of a Management / GovernanceModel for the Axis.

The design of a Management Model for theCorridor.

The design of a Management Model for theNode.

A pilot Action on the start-up of a managingbody for the Zaragoza RTT node and adaptationof infrastructure and capacity requirements inthe Zaragoza node.

Development of the concept of “green corridor”

in the Lyon – Madrid Section of the Mediterra-

nean corridor

The concept of green transport corridors will reflectan integrated transport concept where short seashipping, inland navigation, rail and road complementeach other enabling the choice of environmentallyfriendly transport. Along these corridors, industryshould be encouraged to rely on co-modality andon advanced technology in order to accommodaterising traffic volumes while promoting environmentalsustainability and energy efficiency.

This activity aims to:

To create a standardized system to measurethe sustainability of transport services on thecorridor.

To propose measures for the “greendevelopment” of the CLYMA axis.

To integrate the “greening objectives” into afuture corridor development plan.

To develop a calculator for calculating CO2emissions and other pollutants on the CLYMAaxis.

Development of a strategic plan for ICT

integration among the Axis agents

Information and communication technologies (ICT)can greatly contribute towards intermodality byimproving infrastructures, fleet management, trafficmanagement, track and trace of goods across thetransport networks, by simplifying document andadministrative procedures, and better connectingbusinesses and administrations. However, ICTdevelopments usually don’t have an intermodalperspective, and do not have a Corridor perspective,as they are generally developed under a uni-modalpoint of view (based on one transport mode andwith difficult integration with other modes) or througha node perspective (based on transactions betweenagents in one transport node such as a port or aterminal).

This includes:

The development of a global analysis for e-freight requirements among agents andadministrations.

The development of a master plan for the ICTintegration among the Axis agents andadministrations in order to facilitate the executionof intermodal activities.

Pilot strategic projects and studies alongside

the corridor

In order to facilitate the long-term implementationof the corridor some analysis and studies arenecessary. This activity intends to deploy some ofthese strategic pilot analyses, studies and projectsin order to facilitate the future implementation of thecorridor. These Include:

Development of a constructive project for theport accesses.

Studies for the enlargement of inland terminals.

Studies for the implementation of rail motorwayterminals.

Study for the implementation of a multi-clienttrain between Spain and the rest of Europe.

Constructive project for the intermodal terminal.

Mitigation actions on bottlenecks for railmotorways.
