Enabling digital and intelligent rail freight in Europe
European freight transport is both an important economic sector and a key element in our collective effort to take on climate change. Today, road transport accounts for almost 75% of inland freight transport - making it one of the biggest contributors to Europe’s C02 emissions. By 2030, the overall European transport volume is expected to increase by another 30%, which will have a significant effect on the whole sector as the growth cannot - and should not - be predominantly borne by road transport.
