BATTERIE – What is it?
This project is about transportation. It
addresses priority 3.1 of Atlantic Area; Improve
accessibility and internal links - Promote
interoperability and continuity of existing
transport networks, and sea/road/rail/air intermodality.
How is it funded? Atlantic Area
• Atlantic Area is a transnational cooperation programme in the framework of the "European Territorial Cooperation" objective
• It is financed by the European Commission through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), with a total budget of 158 million
• The Atlantic Area covers the entire territory of Ireland and the Atlantic regions of Spain, France, Portugal and the United Kingdom
• Its overall strategic objective is to achieve significant and tangible progress in transnational cooperation geared towards cohesive, sustainable and balanced territorial development of the Atlantic Area and its maritime heritage

Context
Context
Objectives• The overall objective of BATTERIE is to establish better
accessible and sustainable transport which will in turn encourage and secure more effective and smooth operation of existing transport infrastructure in the Atlantic Area. We will explore appropriate means to improve the efficiency of multi-modal logistic chains, and this will include, but not be limited to:
• Effective interconnection between all intermodal networks• How to introduce smart technologies• Identifying the alternative fuel sources available• By examining how effectively all the current intermodal
networks operate, and by examining the impact of smart technology and alternative fuels an objective is to establish and share best practice in making the alternative models available and commercial sustainability.
Outputs
• Contribute to providing an easier transition between modes of transport, and improved connectivity between road, rail, air and sea
• Deliver a web-based journey-planning tool to facilitate intermodal journeys across the Atlantic Area maximising the use of smart technology and alternative fuels
• For smart technology and alternative fuels we will map and model availability and future development, costs and environmental impact (reducing CO2 emissions)
• Design scenarios and models of changes to policy, behaviour and transnational strategies
• Pilot Journey• Deliver a pilot network conference
Benefits
• Funding• Employment• Better understanding of transport issues in remote
areas• Project outputs• Experience• Partnerships• Project after-life
