| Organization In accordance with the transformation strategy adopted in 2001, Fret SNCF has completely restructured its operations. The new organization should enable the group to meet current and future challenges of freight transport and to better satisfy clients’ requirements.
Fret SNCF has established responsibility centres: trunk routes and local zone units. The purpose of “trunk routes” is to industrialize production flow over long distances. Work rate, increased speed and optimized, dedicated management and resources enable units to improve the regularity of freight services.  4 trunk routes are progressively being developed: an Antwerp/Basel route, linking Belgium, Switzerland and Italya North-East/Savoy route between Benelux countries and Italy, and between Italy and Great Britain,a South-East route linking Benelux, Germany and Spain,An Atlantic route linking Great Britain to Spain, and the Benelux countries to Spain.A production organization specialized in combined transport uses its own dedicated resources: the PNIF (Paris hub). The “local zone” units are responsible for grouping and despatching wagons in neighbouring zones. They use their own equipment resources and establish their own independent local transport plans. A dozen local zone units will eventually be deployed throughout France. As of the first half of 2003, the operational zones are Rhone-Alps and western France. In autumn 2003, the Mediterranean, Burgundy, North-Picardie, Centre Atlantic, and the Paris Region local zone units will become operational.
In commercial terms, Fret SNCF is carrying out a fundamental reorganization of its offer to better respond to clients’ needs. The internal transformation of freight transport is intended to improve fluidity and harmonize relations between production and commercial aspects, so that clients are not subjected to the internal pressures of production. Transversal marketing management has been established to define a clear, coherent range of offers, in harmony with market expectations.
