In an attempt to regain freight volume, the Hungarian National Railway (MAV) has decided to take a closer look at the emerging area of combined transport, specifically its connection with intermodal transportation segments currently developing in Western Europe. The Hungarians have approached the AGTC or Combined Transport Working Committee of the UN-ECC. Its purpose is to promote combined transportation and a uniform European Huckepack network. This network is a specific and uniform mode of container freight transportation which is currently gaining acceptance in Western Europe. To qualify for entry, the MAV must upgrade and refit its container handling equipment and facilities. A feasibility study would focus on the ongoing growth and integration of the current Intermodal Development Program.
