This report sets out four different scenarios for the European transport and logistics sector. Scenarios depict plausible hypotheses about the future; thus, they are useful tools for forecasting, analysing and formulating policy, as well as for strategic planning in private companies and among the social partners. In a rapidly changing and complex world – where demand and supply change equally fast – planning for the future cannot rely on simple projections of past trends. Alternative views of the future can help to broaden the understanding of issues that need to be addressed today. Scenario methodology provides such alternative views by embracing the uncertainty inherent in the future. This outline of four scenarios represents realistic, internally consistent, and plausible pictures of alternative futures for the transport and logistics sector.
Scenario 1: Take the A-train
Scenario 2: I’m in love with my car
Scenario 3: Riding the rainbow
Scenario 4: Moonlight ride in a diesel
