“…The scope of the external costs analysis can focus on the emissions related to the use of the transport mode (tank-to-wheel analysis), on the production phase (well-to-tank analysis) or on both aspects (well-to-wheel analysis, e.g. Hoffrichter et al, 2012). For the geographical issue, we suggest the definition of a specific corridor on which comparisons of different modes of transport can be achieved.…”

“…A big exception is the US, where diesel-electric locomotives are used on virtually all freight routes. Hoffrichter US grid in 2008 would have been 0.9 kg per kWh [48]. The current US grid is around 20% cleaner than in 2008 [49], and the benefit of a shift to electric traction would be correspondingly greater.…”

Road freight transportation accounts for around 7% of total world energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. With the appropriate incentives, energy savings and emissions reductions can be achieved by shifting freight to rail or water modes, both of which are far more efficient than road. We briefly introduce five general strategies for decarbonizing freight transportation, and then focus on the literature and data relevant to estimating the global decarbonization potential through modal shift. We compare freight activity (in tonne-km) by mode for every country where data are available. We also describe major intraregional freight corridors, their modal structure, and their infrastructure needs. We find that the current world road and rail modal split is around 60:40. Most countries are experiencing strong growth in road freight and a shift from rail to road. Rail intermodal transportation holds great potential for replacing carbon-intense and fast-growing road freight, but it is essential to have a targeted design of freight systems, particularly in developing countries. Modal shift can be promoted by policies targeting infrastructure investments and internalizing external costs of road freight, but we find that not many countries have such policies in place. We identify research needs for decarbonizing the freight transportation sector both through improvements in the efficiency of individual modes and through new physical and institutional infrastructure that can support modal shift.
