Transportation is the only sector of the worldeconomy with growing CO2 emissions

What to do about the “dirty side” of globalization?

Projected changes in EU15 CO2 emissions from 1990 to2010 with existing policy measures


Modal shift is the key element to curb the CO2emissions from transportation

Source: International Transport Forum

On average rail emits three to four times less CO2 than road

Global transport CO2 emissions by modal share, 2005

EU rail market share:•Passenger 7%•Freight 18%


Railways have to continously improve their environ-mental performance and to offer attractive products

Potential strategies for reducing impact of transportation on global warming

The econfriendliness needs to be made “tangible”

Neutral tool to demonstrate energy consumption and CO2 emissions ofalternative transport modes for a specific transport request

100 tons of average goods from Berlin to Milano, road vs rail


Measuring GHG emissions and energyconsumption with www.EcoTransIT.org


Emission performance can be increased byusing „low CO electricity“


JR Freight‘s HD300 Diesel Hybrid Locomotive


Intermodal city logistics based on rail

Case Monoprix

Transport to warehouse in Paris with SNCF Fret in the evening

Distribution with gas-fueled trucks in the morning (project supportedby Gas de France)

Avoiding traffic jams on high-ways in the morning

Already 1/3 of all goods migrated to rail based logistic chain


Environmental advantages need to be packagedinto attractive products and marketing


− Fair competition: Internalisation of external costs andearmarking resulting revenues

− Balancing infrastructure investments between differentmodes of transport, i.e. shift from road to rail

− End erosion of rail freight in CEEC by stopping cross-subsidies via track access charges (TAC) and publicservice obligations (PSO)

− Limit financial burden of interoperability (ERTMS, TAFTSI), noise reduction measures and other regulations

− Avoid disadvantages for rail through the EmissionTrading Scheme

Modal shift needs the right frameworkconditions
