  • From Truck to Train
    From Truck to Train 12 Examples Of Successful Modal Shifts in Freight Transport The Member Organisations of the Pro-Rail Alliance According to current prognoses, freight transport will grow by 64 percent over the next 15 years. If no changes are made in transport policy, most this growth will occur on the roads. This prognosis alone makes it clear that we need, more that ever before, an efficient and attractive rail freight system. Increasing the share of freight on the railways is one of the government‘s central traffic policy goals. We are aim to strengthen the railway system. First results are visible: assessments published by the Federal Statistical Office show that the railways had the highest growth rate of volume and performance out of all modes of transport in Germany in 2006. A total of 342.8 million tonnes of freight was transported, which is 25.5 million tonnes, or 8.0 percent, more than the previous year. Apart from federal investment in the rail network, the government is supporting the modal shift to rail by subsidising combined transport as well as private railway sidings for industry; it has allocated around 99.5 million EUR per annum for 2007 and the following years. It is however also the responsibility of trade and industry to ensure that the railways are integrated into its freight transport systems and that future transport is made more efficient, both in terms of its use of resources and its impact on the environment. On a European level, the importance of the railway sector has increased enormously, albeit somewhat slowly.

  • Competitive Tendering of Rail Services EUROPEAN CONFERENCE of MINISTERS of TRANSPORT (ECMT)
    Competitive EUROPEAN CONFERENCE OF MINISTERS OF TRANSPORT Tendering of Rail Competitive tendering Services provides a way to introduce Competitive competition to railways whilst preserving an integrated network of services. It has been used for freight Tendering railways in some countries but is particularly attractive for passenger networks when subsidised services make competition of Rail between trains serving the same routes difficult or impossible to organise. Services Governments promote competition in railways to Competitive Tendering reduce costs, not least to the tax payer, and to improve levels of service to customers. Concessions are also designed to bring much needed private capital into the rail industry. The success of competitive tendering in achieving these outcomes depends critically on the way risks are assigned between the government and private train operators. It also depends on the transparency and durability of the regulatory framework established to protect both the public interest and the interests of concession holders, and on the incentives created by franchise agreements. This report examines experience to date from around the world in competitively tendering rail services. It seeks to draw lessons for effective design of concessions and regulation from both of the successful and less successful cases examined. The work RailServices is based on detailed examinations by leading experts of the experience of passenger rail concessions in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.
