DW Europe July 4, 2024

John to find out about time on storing info my grands the good afternoon. Well, is there a train to school for you from here . Yes, 5, 26 am only in the morning. Yes, were on the cusp of the fastest, deepest, most consequential transformation of transport. This is every bit as transformative as when the, the car replace the whole piece of the piece 3rd runway would instinctively generate an additional 3000000. 00 tons of c o. 2, it is absolute madness to do that and tons of climb across the some. I know im 50 years from now. Self driving trucks will be the know the bus. Its all i wont be around to see them with the some other side of the the, the room we send roads crews cross the european landscape like arteries. We use them to commute to travel into transport goods. Nearly every aspect of our lives depends on that. The gigantic mobility infrastructure has been created in europe, but as a result were now faced with serious problems. Fuel prices are exploding. Cities are clogged with traffic while in the countryside, whole regions are cut off the traffic and transport cause the highest c o 2 emissions in europe. While other sectors are slowly reducing emissions. The ecological footprint of the transport sector is growing the at the beginning of the crew and a virus pandemic, we had a brief glimpse of what it looks like when the world standstill. Traffic came to a halt and we got a brief respite from pressing questions. Like, how can we make transport cleaner . Can this clean transport be accessible to all the . Because today we all depend on transportation. The europeans love to travel. Nowhere. Our suitcases packed more often than they are in europe. Above all, we of to fly the low Cost Airlines are particularly popular. They dominate the market and make flying cheaper and more flexible. The. These are all flights in europe on july 16th, 2017. Twice as many as in 1996 after a short depth due to the pen demik, the curve is now rising again. In 2033, its estimated. The number of passengers will have doubled once more. The air transport is responsible for 14 percent of all transport emissions, but the true cost of flying to the beach is much higher than the price of the plane tickets. More and more young people want to see this change like here in vienna. Seeing as se, outline is very difficult to do comp nice if looking, so the Airline Industry is assigned to green motion plans to continue to grow content. Others are supposed to reduce the nationwide elsewhere and Technology Transformation some way to find the future. And we need a reduction now to and that can only be achieved through a reduction in a trust me tap thing a is co founder of the state ground and network. Shes been fighting the expansion of the and is airport for years. They also come from, do you have access in the airport currently has to run way semester and just as wanted to expand for a very long time on expansion plans or announce to 1990 or a some sizing. And that has been resistance from the region ever since the time to the course and recent by using the climate issue has become increasingly serious. I mean, weve arrived in the Climate Crisis and the airport still wants to take over 90 to 660 heck to split this all 3rd runway. A climate damaging wants to project fits with the fed runway would effectively generate an additional 3000000. 00 tons of c o. 2. It is absolute madness to do that in times of climate process. You have 61 that says we have sites 660 heck, chance of austrias most valuable Agricultural Land from being used for climate damaging aerial process. That is really good. We have rained in the growth mania, but the boxes is not one that comes not its just kind of need cannot be used as an International Airline ticket is turned off at a lower rate than food. This has to stop the transport. Its a complex issue. One that effects to solve decades ago, we here in europe decided to outsource the production of many consumer goods and basic necessities rather than produce them ourselves. What this meant for transport was clear. We would be more and more of it. Take a high quality german e bike, for example. Its made of over a 1000 individual parts that are produced in all different regions of the world. The Raw Materials for the batteries come from south america or australia. The batteries are manufactured in china. Some of the electronic parts in germany. The engine is assembled and hungry and then shipped back to germany. The german tires are made in indonesia, the japanese brake disks are made in malaysia. The rim tape is made in vietnam, and the brake components are assembled in malaysia or china and then installed in germany, the cheese he is made in japan. The fort in taiwan. The through axle is also produced there, but then assembled into the will in portugal, along with the rims and spokes before being delivered to germany. Only if all these parts are delivered on time can the bike be completed. Almost all of these goods are shipped from asia to europe by ship. First they pass through the suez canal, then they cross the mediterranean. The destination is usually a Northern European port router dam on to work or homburg. For example, the shipping is responsible for at least 3 percent of global c o 2 emissions and is coming under increasing scrutiny. While the hermit causes the climate is clear, shipping is subject to exceptions. This is true for air transport as well. Neither is covered by either the parents climate agreement or the emissions trading scheme. Most goods are deliberate according to be just in time system. In other words, they are produced only when needed in order to avoid storage time. Only when transport runs absolutely smoothly can the european economy function depend demik and to warn you. Crane has shown us how interwoven and fragile the supply and production processes are and how help us we are when theyre interrupted. Shipping is followed by the next important link and the transportation chain. Trucks, the even coal if is a truck driver. He loves his job. His home is in bulgaria. So sure. Village bar above that to what im supposed to say. They want it over to started with my grandmother. Shes go dressed, us all her brother gold rest. His soul was also a truck driver 25 or 30 years ago when he gives an altima she want. When he came home, he was pulled off children. Sometimes we will 246 a grandkids. He always had a whole bag of candy for us. Walk one time wherever you put me in the truck, sent me on his lock them out and that was the whole discussion that moved from then on. I want to be a truck driver too. I forgot that was my dream. And so i know how to do strongly thing as a whole. I know some 6200000 trucks drive europes roads, huge number and like even color, most of the drivers come from Eastern Europe was really just a little of their own in east and european Truck Drivers in western europe. This is mainly for financial resistance for them. So good wages, different homeless, me. If you in 1000 euro here, you and 2000 euro the, so thats already a big difference. Its want you to the money to the where are you calling you back . Iraq . Yes. Great, so is a quiet the i dont understand much. We need neighbor, neighbor romania, no book area. Sophia plus 2 plus div. Yes. Mazda law. In friends, they still diesel from me. But also while i was sleeping in france in france, thats a real problem of some come, i dont think im going to go to them. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Yes, the above us are city. Yeah. This part of the load is going to mercy. This part to get the village of consolidated cargo or vice robust bushland, germany, bloomberg, and its done and then back to iraq. Just to remind you quite a lot you law has strict rules for laurie driver as they are supposed to return to their home country every 4 weeks for example. But although the laws are supposed to help, the drivers work healthier and have more free time, there is resistance, Eastern European drivers fear these rules will restrict their ability to work, rendering them uncompetitive. The 75 percent of freight transport in europe is handled by trucks. No wonder road transport is so damaging to the climate in 2019 and accounted for 26 percent of all c o 2 emissions in the u. While total c o 2 emissions have fallen. Those generated by ro transport have actually present over at the same period the of the, if youre wants to become climate neutral vehicles of the future will have to be emission free truck manufacturers are working hard on alternatives to the diesel engine. Another goal is though as level one in for the one of the major technical challenges the truck sees the question of how we can implement c o 2 free transport for freight traffic on the roads and call them the oldest. These are powerful vehicles. Their engines have a load of power and they need it. And finally, they drive many kilometers a year. Last month they need high payloads and a lot of flexibility most. And we show that these features will remain very important for future vehicles as well. With my team and i are interested in developments in the arena refusal in particular, alternative fuels that could possibly be considered as Energy Sources powering trucks. Finally, coming at the moment, were looking at hydrogen falls, but there is definitely on the candidate that interest us to see that there are definitely environmentally friendly or alternatives to the trunk. Never. The less, only one year of team country has consistently chosen alternatives. Switzerland in 1994, the swiss population decided to introduce a higher tax on petrol and to use the revenue to finance real transport. 7 7 to the hot shown so long as i can please super leg most current. And we have been thinking for a long time about what we could do about this move to a project coming into a violation gong. And then we discovered the can tones, have the same problem and phone. And of course the visa and the image may as we feel that more and more traffic was coming, the cold war in my projects were coming home and this was being felt in everyday life. With these trumps driving through the villages and really making life difficult, the yellow to replace the slave initially and. And then we said the we can do something about it to can to get the mind to much less getting more. A kristen murder was one of the founders of a Popular Initiative to protect the alpine region from too much traffic to p. Fit off. Yeah, jake and then she made for to install her initiative was for them to fight heavy goods traffic in transit creative. In other words, against the lower east that some p crossed switzerland on their way from germany to it. Tonight, we understood very quickly that simply launching an initiative against the motor away would not want to talk. You have to convince people to vote for the initiative. And if you say its against the motor way, also that somehow doesnt work. So you have to formulate it positively. And thats when we have the idea to all final to understand whats in this. What do we do with a traffic and what we shifted to the railway is for law and then of the bod. With the assistance of c, u t. And what is that goal . The goal is no more than 650000 lorissa. Yeah. Crossing their own stomach, most of them do in order to achieve based on going to one of the things such as being subsidized. So because the switch to rail traffic code, right. And so tim and also being billed by switzerland cannot insure it all say, participate and terminals ignore the net to me on southern gym. And i know that kiley cuz the it was successful. It was a huge move. Yeah, no, it was a great experience to live out of the switzerland is the only country in europe where the train is the most important means of transport for both people and goods that in a country whos mountainous terrain doesnt make it an obvious candidate. Keep on these to be able to dis, full eat it, and cheat really is popular. And the people have repeatedly decided to spend billions on further expansion. These defaults. And so as a real transport is fully integrated into the economy for both passenger and freight transport in between the large swift retail chain, negro is working to reduce its Carbon Footprint to an absolute minimum. Thats why almost all deliveries are made by trained media. Always the curious, the pretty fault. They all gave it. The negro is the largest private employer in switzer with defy to you know, we employee almost a 100000 people to be good and we belong to the people. Take approximately 2000000 people in switzerland. Our owners, i can tell you that we are a Corporate Office and shelf soon as we speak for us, it is important to meet logistics, goldfish, and sustainable. Thats all. Thats why we worked. According to the principal, she real transported before real transfer. It looked at often and support this end of year free transports and for absolutely marginal for a lot of you give little most one percent of our guests are implies adults involved if, if in exceptional cases also we nevertheless have to fly good time that we charge a fee for these transport ice v, like we put this money into a fund, which we then use to promote our own because the steam ability project, felton the, and so with these wides, puny eating. Lot him into the content of palm for to the switzerland was of high and youre in the development of real transport. So autobody goes on the passenger side because and on the freight side of meet development to solomon on twilight, to then throw it in the same vein line. We are working on other projects, talk to store them. One is called cargo sue to hold them to bone. This is a building a freight trail. We hold that under the gravities those a 2nd individual sustainability approaches light is h to mobility project and switzerland. Its which allows us to start transporting goods using fuel cell technology. A new key to per diem in the negro also has its goods from a broad deliver it almost exclusively by train. Transporting goods by rail producers 43. 00 times less c o 2 than air transport and 6 times less than transport by truck cargo terminal north of the launch is an indirect consequence of this waste referendum. I got the bus, those guys, can i check off off of the them . Not us. Ok. Mark on the 12345. You can use the central donors of all of that stuff. No, its gone. Im done on the invite to dan and them. Oh, i checked the default thing trying. We have various destinations over here. I may need germany, switzerland. No the near on sweden to at the moment we have about 25 to 30 pounds of trains. Here to punch is an arrival time. Were working a full capacity and it says on the, you know the g, me a 30 by any tone. Tell me if the hey g, b, you 462858. 1 is the wrong thing. I dont see it anywhere in the departure. So yes, its arriving. Ok, thanks. Is there any difference, all these trains that weve been snowed in your travels, can you switch you to go to the tunnel and today the trains are longer than they used to be used to be 550 meters long. Today they are 650. 00 mates as low. So you can say there is more work, and that is a good thing for somebody in nowhere is the real way network as dense as in europe. Real ways have shaped our lives on the continent for the last 2 centuries, connecting cultures and boosting the economy. Today, 226000 kilometers of tract. Chris cross your if you lead them end to end, you can go around the world 5 and a half times. But theres a catch, the use real network and its a system of 26 separate Real Networks that are not fully compatible with one another. To connect to your house that you spent 27000000000 euros from 2014 to 2022 thirds of that went into expanding the motor weights. Well, only one 3rd was invested in rail networks. Today we can easily reach major cities by high speed training. Often more quickly than by plate but there are a norm is gaps when it comes to local transportation. In some regions of europe, the Railway Network is decaying. The economic boom no longer reaches these areas, the traffic arteries at once broad, vibrancy, or decaying, cutting off small towns and villages. A tragic example of the decline of the railway is coach honey in northern macedonia. The whole platform was full of people. You cant imagine crated it was you to get sick. Wouldnt even know either sure that it was quite enough that you put once a day, a Freight Train with over 100 wagons, possibly buying, pulling us at these train went through the whole of east in macedonia. 100 freight costs and all of them here at coach on these stations. Im gonna tell you those today the industry is getting worse and worse, and this is not like before during communist times. And now no Freight Train has arrived for over half a year. But it wouldnt be possible at any time. The station is open for freight transfer, but most it was significantly and it was done. Its a reporter news of florida. So but this goes over to you, so well do. The passenger train runs in the evening once a day in the morning. It takes people from here to scope. Yeah. And back in the evening. And what are the glass . It was the, the youre not a, you know, how Important International train would be for these villages. In tones for should it that the coach any, do you need to come in cha doubtful. The whole picture, whole, the train could reach them all in spanish and i would have absolutely. Im to communism. We have lost one with the European Union as a murphy. Im believe, oh, europe should learn from us the other way around. The old able to name was us without traffic, there is no language because goods and capital must be constantly on the move of the exchange of goods means life to visit with the trains have to be used. Unfortunately, thats no longer the case. The companys of disobedience and the means if we had express trains wed, i stay here and work for 200 euros. No, i would go to school p a to earn more money in there with a book. Thats what trains are for the past. What the reason i have no way to drive any of those who have a car will go to school. The rest of the stay here. Unfortunately, its not. Is all the catastrophe. It could be different, but thats the way it is. I do remember that what that was to get to work by the, by the its not only in europe, south and east that regions are under served by public transport. The situation is similar here in northern france, where there are no buses or trains. People move away, the more people turn their backs on their region. The more Public Services are cut, a vicious circle, the result deserted stretches of countryside, the value in france, something
