Abstract
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how education and training may be used to increase the use of eco-friendly transport modes for freight transport. Due to an increase in education and training people’s awareness for the eco-friendly transport mode inland navigation should be enhanced. The results of this paper are part of the education cooperation “REWWay”. Qualitative empiric research in form of expert interviews and focus groups is used to identify stakeholders’ needs for education and training for eco-friendly freight transport. The research sample consists of secondary, vocational and tertiary education and the industry. Results demonstrate a lack of transport education for eco-friendly transport. Teachers, lecturers and the industry are highly interested in appropriate and high-quality offers in education and training. Moreover, results suggest that appropriate education concerning eco-friendly transport opportunities is able to support a shift towards eco-friendly logistics.
