This work summarizes the first results of the project European Shift Enabler Portal for Freight (ESEP4Freight). An analysis of 8 online tools providing information in map format about the European freight transport system has been carried out. The analyzed tools provide information on the infrastructure or on the transport services but rarely on both aspects. In addition, non-commercial tools offer a limited range of quantitative features, such as CO<inf>2</inf> emissions tools or transportation time estimations. Information about transport services connecting terminals or first and last miles services from the terminals is also frequently missing. These results will be considered for the development of the new tool to be developed as part of the project.
