Inland freight transport in tons—kilometers in the EU27 has followed closely the evolution of GDP in the period 1995–2007 [4]. Freight traffic (measured in vehicle kilometers) has grown even more than freight transport, partly due to changes in logistics systems as described below.

2. Economic drivers: including macro-economic development, income, employment and globalization. Economic development generates new activities and opportunities for a better and wealthier lifestyle which lead people to move with more frequency and for many different purposes. Similarly, a higher disposable income may induce an increase in car ownership and trip frequency as well as in long distance trips for leisure purposes. Even if, thanks to increasing wealth and revenues, the number of trips carried out for different purposes is constantly increasing, commuting still represents an important share (almost 30–35 %) of passenger transport demand [5–7, 12] and employment is an important mobility driver.

This form of transportation is used worldwide and therefore requires standardisation in all terminals in the world and for all means of transport. A great effort is being made to unify international standards, which are controlled by special organisations. But the need for standardisation inevitably clashes with the need for change dictated by technological evolution.
