Reduction of energy consumption has become a global concern, and the EU is committed to reducing its overall emissions to at least 20% below 1990 levels by 2020. In the transport sector, measures are focused on planning, infrastructure, modal change, the renewal of vehicles and also programmes for efficient driving. Factors such as the low
The railway is one of the most energy-efficient modes of transport, which constituted 8% of passenger transport and 7% of freight movements globally in 2016 but only accounted for 2% of the energy used in the transport sector. Figure 1.1 shows the global final energy consumption in different sections [ 2 ]. Fig. 1.1.
