Freight train

Transporting goods by train allows a reduction of approximately 70% in CO2 emissions compared with road transport. As it allows significant efficiency gains in the transport of goods, the train is therefore an essential element in the logistics chain. In Portugal, on average, one train of goods is equivalent to 19 trucks on the road. Therefore, the transition of freight transported from road to rail also allows decongesting the roads for passenger flows.
