Business as usual aber können wir uns (vorerst) abschminken. ••• BUSINESS TRAVEL NORMALITÄT Geschäftsreisen und der persönliche Kontakt werden aus Sicht des Verbands Deutsches Reisemanagement (VDR) auch nach der Corona-Pandemie wichtiger Bestandteil der Geschäftstätigkeit deutscher Unternehmen sein. Das Problem: Virologen und Mediziner glauben nicht daran, dass die Corona-Pandemie in den nächsten Jahren verschwinden geschweige denn zu beherrschen sein wird. Auch gibt es große Zweifel daran, dass es jemals einen Impfstoff geben wird.

  • Bike Carriage on Long-Distance Trains: 7 Basic Services That Give Cyclists a Smile
    Bike carriage on long-distance trains: 7 basic services that give cyclists a smile A collection of good practice examples from across Europe Authors: Fabian Küster and Ed Lancaster 4/17/2013 Summary In April 2012, ECF published the position paper “Bike and Train: A European Odyssey”.1 In the paper we deplored the fact that the services offered by railway companies often do not meet the basic requirements of cyclists and that current EU law2 on passenger rights for railway customers does not help to advance this matter in a legally binding manner. Fortunately, some railway undertakings have taken measures in recent years to improve the services they offer to cyclists, albeit that this has often been after continuous pressure from ECF’s members. It speaks for itself that the cycling community has welcomed these steps. Other railway companies should follow suit, for 2 main reasons: Attract new customers: Cycling tourism is a booming business, with well over 2.3 billion cycle tourism trips annually in Europe3. A service package that meets the needs of cycling tourists has the potential to attract millions of additional train passengers. A key message ECF made back in 1999 still holds true: “Only bicycle transport by train offers the flexibility to choose the starting point and destination of a cycling trip freely and this is a promising market for all rail investors to invest in.”4 The financial crisis and continuous drop in car sales, along with changing mobility behaviour, in particular among young adults in urban areas, has the potential to win customers for life.

Department of Energy |January 2021 [ This page is intentionally left blank] Effect of Hyperloop Technologies on Electric Grid and Transportation Energy | Page i Department of Energy |January 2021 Executive Summary Hyperloop technology, initially proposed in 2013 as an innovative means for intermediate- range or intercity travel, is now being developed by several companies. Proponents point to potential benefits for both passenger travel and freight transport, including time-savings, convenience, quality of service and, in some cases, increased energy efficiency. Because the system is powered by electricity, its interface with the grid may require strategies that include energy storage. The added infrastructure, in some cases, may present opportunities for grid- wide system benefits from integrating hyperloop systems with variable energy resources.
