Impression 4 Shifting more traffic to trains and ships Martin Burkert, Member of the Bundestag and Chairman of the Commitee on Transport and Digital Infrastructure Main Topic Dear readers! 10 Germany’s volume of traffic is increasing all the time. The Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan recently passed by the German government assumes that goods transport will have increased by 38 per cent by 2030 as compared with 2010. In this market segment, trains are the number one choice among modes of transport thanks to their high capacity, reliability and security, particularly on long connections and in seaport hinterland transport, whilst lorries can be used flexibly at pre and post-stages. There is generally a consensus on the importance of combined transport. In practice, however, we need to make further efforts to actually shift more traffic to trains and ships. Handling facilities are a sticking point. The funding that has just been extended is indeed important. However, money alone will not solve the problems. Considerable funds remained unspent in the last funding period. Moreover, the promotion of intermodal Sustainability transport must not be undermined by other measures. For example, I see the approval of “gigaliners” as 16 counter-productive. In addition, what we need from the business world is more innovation and investment, for example in more modern freight wagons. Achieving more transport in a way that is affordable yet low in emissions – that is the challenge facing our country.
