2 Transportation is the only sector of the world economy with growing CO2 emissions Projected changes in EU15 CO2 emissions from 1990 to 2010 with existing policy measures What to do about the dirty side of globalization? 2 Source: EEA 2007

3 Modal shift is the key element to curb the CO2 emissions from transportation Global transport CO2 emissions by modal share, 2005 EU rail market share: Passenger 7% Freight 18% On average rail emits three to four times less CO2 than road 3 Source: International Transport Forum

4 Railways have to continously improve their environmental performance and to offer attractive products Potential strategies for reducing impact of transportation on global warming Outside influence of rail Convince customer with attractive services Constant need to innovate and optimise 4

11 Agenda 2015 for Combined Traffic in Europe Efficient use of infrastructure and international coordiation (selected measures) 1. Path-saving production systems 2. Enhanced process organisation of rail traction Actions IM RU IO TO MoT EC Other More efficient use of infrastructure 3. Train and network capacity management systems Employment of infrastructure-efficient, train path-saving rail production systems Application of incentives in infrastructure access charging systems Improvement of punctuality of rail traction services Enhanced process organization of rail traction services 4. Application of best practices in terminal operation and management Advanced train and network capacity management systems Implementation of longer and/or heavier trains including minor infrastructure adaptations Increased wagon axle loads Best practices in terminal operation and management n n n n n n n n 1) 1) More infrastructure investments and international co-ordination 5. Regular nationwide and international coordination of terminal development Implementation of ongoing and envisaged rail network investments n International agreement on Achilles heels removal programme Realization of ongoing and envisaged terminal investments and intermodal hub programme Standardized process for international co-ordination of CT terminal development 1) 11 Railway Industry n n Main Actor n Involved Party

12 I.M.P.O.R.T. - industrialising Combined Traffic I.M.P.O.R.T - improving the productivity of rail intermodal transport Integrate the recommendations of Agenda 2015 into a vision for industrialising intermodal services Improving productivity production models requirements for terminals / ---gateways / hubs business models / markets wagon productivity Running from July for months 12

13 The econfriendliness needs to be made tangible 100 tons of average goods from Berlin to Milano, road vs rail Neutral tool to demonstrate energy consumption and CO2 emissions of alternative transport modes for a specific transport request 13

17 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 supported by Gas de France) Avoiding traffic jams on high-ways in the morning Already 1/3 of all goods migrated to rail based logistic chain 17

18 Environmental advantages need to be packaged into attractive products and marketing 18

19 Modal shift needs the right framework conditions Fair competition: Internalisation of external costs and earmarking resulting revenues Balancing infrastructure investments between different modes of transport, i.e. shift from road to rail End erosion of rail freight in CEEC by stopping crosssubsidies via track access charges (TAC) and public service obligations (PSO) Limit financial burden of interoperability (ERTMS, TAF TSI), noise reduction measures and other regulations Avoid disadvantages for rail through the Emission Trading Scheme 19
