1 Sustainable Development A priority issue for the IRU 18 th OSCE Economic and Environmental Forum Minsk, 15 March 2010

2 IRU Membership Created 1948 National Associations from 8 founding countries Belgium Denmark France Netherlands Members 74 Countries Norway Sweden UK Switzerland Page 2

3 Page 3 IRU Priority Issues Sustainable Development Innovation Incentives Infrastructure Facilitation Trade Tourism Road Transport

4 Page 4 IRU s s 3 i s for Sustainable Development 1. Innovation develop ever more effective at- source technical measures & operating practices to reduce environmental impact. 2. Incentives encourage faster introduction by transport operators of best available technologies and practices. 3. Infrastructure ensure free-flowing flowing traffic through adequate investment in new infrastructure, to remove bottlenecks and missing links and make full use of existing infrastructure.

7 Page 7 IRU «30 by 30» Resolution - 30% CO 2 by 2030 The road transport sector has voluntarily committed, on the basis of innovative technologies and practices, to reduce CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030 based on transport performance in tkm and pkm and related to the base year 2007.

11 Page 11 Combined Transport is not inherently more environmentally friendly! Myth: Combined transport is the most environmentally friendly In most way cases of transport and for in terms equivalent of CO 2 emissions door to door transport, pure road transport has a better environmental Reality: footprint than other Rail transport achieves modes of lowest transport! CO 2 emissions where trains use electricity from nuclear power stations.?

12 Trucks Have The Best CO Footprint 2 (For Equivalent Transport Service) CO2 Emissions g/tkm Truck (40t) Combined Transport Plane (cargo plane B747) * Plane (cargo plane B747) *&** Source : EEA, LH Cargo 2009, IFEU 2002 * airport to airport service Page 12 ** including high altitude effect

13 Modular Concept: Supporting Co-Modality Reduction of transport cost by 23% Reduction in number of trips by 32% BETTER TRANSPORT rather than MORE TRANSPORT Reduction of fuel consumption by 15% Reduction of CO 2 emission by 15% Harmonisation and standardisation of various combinations is needed to allow intra- and inter- modal exchangeability.
