EFFECTIVE
Modal shift - not really…

CREDIBLE
• COMODALITY vs MODAL SHIFT APPROACH
• WRONG ASSUMPTIONS
o transport modes are in competition
o non-road modes of transport are always better from an environmental
perspective
• MODES ARE COMPLEMENTARY, NOT COMPETING
• NON-ROAD MODES ARE NOT CLEANER “by definition” : EEA
TERM Report 2014

CREDIBLE
o Halve the use of
conventionally-fuelled cars in
cities by 2030 and phase them
out by 2050
o 30% of road freight over 300km
should shift to other modes by
2030: more than 50% by 2050
REALISTIC ?
SUITABLE ?
SCIENTIFIC ?
o By 2050 the majority of
medium-distance passenger
transport should go by rail
(High Speed ?)
