PARIS UIC HEADQUARTERS APRIL 8th 2015
Franco Castagnetti, April 8th, 2015

2. RAIL: A VERY CAPITAL INTENSIVE BUSINESS
Rail Freight industrialization to reduce operating costs
Industrialization via the nodes on TEN-T corridors in traffic attraction zones
Investments in network + bottlenecks corrections are paramount
Co-modal Governance for corridors management, cross border, space planning
ICT Technology and rolling stock technology evolution to lead the step change on innovative business model for Market uptake
Franco Castagnetti, April 8th, 2015

3. AS IS PICTURE 2012 COMPARED TO 2050 OBJECTIVES
The needed actions for achieving the objectives to start immediately.
Change of approach to rail freight industrialization necessary.

6. COMPARISON Ton vs. Ton/Km MKT SHARE OVER LONG DISTANCES
11% of Tonnage over long distance transportation km baseline
IS EQUAL TO
56% of Ton/Km traffic
Source: ACEA 2011
This means that a modal shift to rail of 5-6% of long distance cargo signifies a very high percentage of Ton/Km for shift to rail objectives.
