We Take Care of Our Environment
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Freight transport by truck in particular has a significant negative impact on the environment. the footprint of diesel engines which emit Nox particles is a significant contributor to todays public health crises. We stop that.
Transporting goods
The transport of people and goods in the European Union generates external costs of almost 1 trillion euros per year. This is the conclusion of the EU Commission in its current study (published in 2019). The external costs taken into account in the study are the EU's financial costs caused by accidents, air pollution, climate change, noise, overloading of infrastructure and the negative impact on natural habitats.
According to the Commission, passenger transport is responsible for just under 70 percent (700 billion) of external costs in the EU, while around 30 percent (300 billion) are caused by freight transport. In the latter case, road transport is the largest cost generator with 83 percent, followed by maritime transport with 10 percent and air transport with 5 percent.
Only 2 % of external Costs are due to Rail Transport
At the bottom of the cost table is rail transport with only 2 percent of all costs.
