The European Union proposed a set of measures to clean up freight transportation
as part of a sweeping strategy to make the bloc climate neutral. 

The European Commission wants to improve rail infrastructure management, offer
new incentives for zero-emission vehicles, and provide better tools for
companies to calculate their carbon footprint, according to a statement Tuesday.
These will help the EU toward its target of cutting transport emissions by 90%
by the middle of century. 

“Freight transport in the EU is responsible for an annual turnover of €938
billion, and through our initiatives, we want to increase the availability of
rail capacity for freight and cross-border trains,” Transport Commissioner Adina
Vălean said. “We instate an accurate, homogeneous system of counting emissions
from transport operations, and we make road transport more efficient.” 

The decision complements the Green Deal, the EU’s wider strategy to decarbonize
the economy by 2050. Freight transportation contributes significantly to climate
change, accounting for more than 30% of carbon dioxide emissions in the sector,
according to the commission.




The package comes a day before a crucial vote in the European Parliament on a
draft nature restoration law, another element of the Green Deal. The biggest
political group in the assembly said it would oppose it amid concerns about
costs for the ambitious transition.



The main proposals under the transportation package, which needs support from
the European Parliament and member states to take effect, are listed below:

Type of transportationMeasures RailPackage aims to harmonize international rail
traffic. The new framework for cross-border coordination will allow
infrastructure managers to plan timetables, maintenance works and allocation of
capacity. Cross-border coordination will also provide new long-distance
services. Road The commission proposed revising rules on maximum dimensions for
heavy-duty vehicles to allow for additional weight for those using zero-emission
technologies. It wants to encourage the uptake of more aerodynamic cabins and
other energy-saving devices.Carbon footprintPackage includes a proposal on
common methodology for companies to calculate their greenhouse gas emissions if
they want to publish this information, a move that will increase transparency.
