Oonk, M.E. (author)Een duurzaam vervoerssysteem kent een grote mate van flexibiliteit. Synchromodaliteit, een optimale afstemming van het goederenvervoer via water, rail, weg en lucht vormt hiervoor de route. Dit houdt in dat logistieke netwerken zo worden ingericht, dat voor elke lading op ieder moment de juiste vervoerswijze wordt gekozen.article 2011
