Přestože kombinovaná přeprava je v evropské legislativě zakotvena už od roku 1992 a měla určovat trend, kterým se má logistika vyvíjet, implementace a naplnění s ní spojených cílů stále vázne. Multimodální přeprava může významně zmírnit přetížení silniční dopravy, a navíc přispět ke snížení emisí skleníkových plynů.

Směrnice NIS2 navazuje na existující regulaci, která v případě ČR momentálně dopadá na asi 600 společností.
