The Horizon 2020 Green Deal project MAGPIE began in October 2021 with a living lab approach to demonstrate solutions for smart, green, and integrated multimodal transport. Solutions include green energy carriers, digital solutions, and non-technological solutions for truck, train, inland waterway vessels, and maritime transport to, from, and in ports. The demonstrations will take place in the port of Rotterdam region and be evaluated based on the roll-out potential to other ports. All developments in MAGPIE will culminate in a Master Plan with the roadmap towards smart and green ports. MAGPIE will work with key stakeholders in transport and logistics to evaluate the exploitation potential and to ensure market uptake of the project results. This paper discusses the project plans and preliminary developments, looks ahead to the results of the project.
