description The manuscript deals with the problematic of multimodal and combined transport in the European Union. Multimodal transport is an intermodal transport where most of the road in Europe is carried out by rail, inland waterway or maritime transport and each start and end of the road that is made by road is as short as possible. Road traffic is used only on short routes, e.g. for the carriage of goods to rail or sea or to pick up the goods at the place of unloading. The aim of this manuscript is to point out of the European Commission priority, that is to reducing CO2 emissions, congestion and air pollution to improve the quality of life of European citizens. Our research is focused on state of the art of multimodal and combined transport with which it can be reduces CO2 emissions and energy consumption per cost unit and future directions of multimodality.
