 “An international integrated intermodal transport and logistics system”

It is the system that has the intermodal network of well designed, maintained and interconnected highways, railways, inland waterways, sea ports, river ports, airports or dry ports that through modal shift,


 • optimizes the needs of transporting goods and passengers

 • minimizes consumption of energy, land and other resources

 • generates low emissions of, greenhouse gases and ozone depleting substances

 • minimizes the adverse social impacts arising from transport operations.

  Green Transportation Policy News      The National Transport Policy 2019-2030 (NTP 2019-2030) which was recently launched by Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is set to cater to Malaysia's transportation needs into the future. According to government statistics, carbon emission in the transport sector is largely from land transport, constituting 90 per cent or 48,200 ktonne and 67 per cent is from cars. Thus among the main objectives is to ensure efficient and sustainable use of resources and minimise environmental pollution. With the nation's total carbon emission cited at 7.9 tonne/capita (based on 2011 statistics) it is no wonder that environmental protection is highlighted as one of the main anchors of this holistic vision. While the nation needs to stay competitive and serve the logistic needs of businesses, organisations and its people, the NTP 2019 - 2030 addresses the shift towards environmentally sustainable transport via several strategie...
