• By 2020, efficient, low-carbon end-to-end transport and logistics services will be planned, executed and completed cooperatively in a global freight business ecosystem, based on fully interoperable cargo, vehicle, infrastructure and freight management systems, supporting optimal resources usage and real-time alignment of intermodal plans with on-going operations.
The iCargo Vision

The iCargo approach
• Achieve the iCargo vision through an open freight management ecosystem.
• A business ecosystem is an “intentional community of economic actors” having in common protocols, interfaces and an overall business goal.
• In the case of iCargo this is the provision of door-to-door low-carbon logistic services, i.e., services that:
– cover an entire supply chain or a significant portion of it, – produce less CO2 than alternatives,
– make use of the iCargo ecosystem to combine services through different transport modes and providers.
