weekdays on d, w. ah, a lot of them. good afternoon, or is there a train to school here from here? yes, 5, 26 am only in the morning. yes. we're on the cusp of that. the fastest, deepest, most consequential transformation of transport. this is every bit as transformative was when mo, the car replace the whole the to the piece 3rd runway would effectively generate an additional $3000000.00 tons of c. o. 2, it is absolute madness to do that and tons of climb across his mountain. ah, look in a position to come on in is not pushed 2 years from now is the self driving trucks will be the norm. gosh, but i won't be around to sit down with us on sunday. ah, ah, railways and roads, chris crossed the european landscape like arteries. we used them to commute to travel into transport goods. nearly every aspect of our lives depends on them. a 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. hol, regions are cut off traffic and transport cars, the highest c o 2 emissions in europe. while other sectors are slowly reducing emissions. the ecological footprint of the transport sector is growing. ah. at the beginning of the corona virus, panda mac, 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? because today we all depend on transportation. we europeans love to travel nowhere. our suitcases packed more often than they are in europe. above all, we love to fly low cost airlines are particularly popular. they dominate the market and make flying cheaper and more flexible. ah, these are all flights in europe on july 16th, 2017. twice as many as in 1996 after a short depth due to the pandemic, the curve is now rising again. in 2033, it's estimated. the number of passengers will have doubled once more. i 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 ticket. more and more young people want to see this change like here in vienna lying, it's very difficult to d carbonite if looking. so the airline industry is trying to greenwashing plans to continue to grow company. other was supposed to initially elsewhere and technological transformations. way too far in the future, but we need a reduction now so, and that can only be achieved through a reduction in air traffic. mir her cap thing her as co founder of this stage, grounded network. she has been fighting the expansion of vienna's airport for years the africa from been had ac. vanna airport currently has to run ways like that. and it is wanted to expand for a very long time on expansion plants are announced to 1998. i'm typing and there has been resistance from the region ever since, and that's and of course, and recent miasma. climate issue has become increasingly serious with arrived in the climate crisis. and the airport still wants to take over an additional $660.00 heck tis for this 3rd runway, a climate damaging wants to project and they put the 3rd runway would effectively generate an additional $3000000.00 tons of c. o. 2. it is absolute madness to do that in times of climate crossen. when they have say soon that says we have saved 660 hectares of austria's most valuable agricultural land to keep from being used for climate damaging aerial growth. that is really good theology. we have rained in the air, woods, growth maniac with them, but the button is not one that comes on. it is common, it cannot be that an international airline ticket is turned off at a lower rate than food. this has to stop me. transport is a complex issue, one that affects us all. decades ago, we here in europe decided to outsource the production of many consumer goods and basic necessities rather than produce them are, tell me what this meant for transport was clear. we would be more and more of it take a high quality german e bike, for example. it's made of over a 1000 individual parts that are produced in all different regions of the world. me, 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 chain is made in japan. the fork in taiwan. the through axle is also produced there, but then assembled into the wheel 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 in northern european port rotterdam onto her or homburg. for example. in shipping is responsible for at least 3 percent of global c o 2 emissions and is coming under increasing scrutiny. while the harm it causes the climate is clear, shipping is subject to exceptions. this is true for air transport as well. neither is covered by either the paris climate agreement or the emissions trading scheme. most goods are delivered according to the 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 on a me function. the pandemic and the war in ukraine have shown us how interwoven and fragile p supply and production processes are. and how helpless we are when they are interrupted. shipping is followed by the next important link in the transportation chain trucks. even coal, if is a truck driver, he loves his job. his home is in bulgarian. it's a short video girl. love bower and all that bullshit. but it's about a little protein a will in order to started with my grandmother, go dressed, hustled her brother, god rest, his soul was also a truck driver 25 or 30 years ago. when he gets lost, you must, you are. when he came home, he always brought us children, something like the dishes, we will 246 i grandkids. he always had a whole bag of candy for us. walk one time and he put me in the truck, sat me on his lap and that was it. would it cost him like no, from then on. i wanted to be a truck driver too. i forgot. that was my dream. its own. i know how to do that. i'm still driving his whole. i know. got some 6 point. 2000000 trucks drive europe's roads. huge number and like even call if most of the driver is come from eastern europe or rural dish inevitable, there are many eastern european truck drivers in western europe. this is mainly for financial reasons and forums of the wages differ enormous me. if you in 1000 euro had you on 2000 euro that you had a look that's already a big difference. it's all due to the money to like her. where are you going? iraq, iraq, yes. great. is a quiet the i don't understand. i'm a much mean even a little neighbor, neighbor romanian, no. bulgaria, nevada. sophia close to love div. yes. mother love law firm in france, they still diesel from me. but also while i was sleeping, told me i'm over in france in france as a real problem. awesome gemalto. i'm going to rosa holland ho holland. yes. on. bosh, marcia. this part of the load is going to marsey on this part to get belgium consolidated cargo, benchmark or rubashaw robot. torch lamp germany. nuremberg done. and then back to iraq. to seal ammonia, conchella. e law has strict rules for laurie driver is that they're supposed to return to their home country every 4 weeks for example. but although the laws are supposed to help, the driver is work healthier and have more free time. there is a resistance, eastern european drivers fear these rules will restrict their ability to work, rendering them on competitive ah 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 the same period. if europe 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 with one another gorse hours for the warning. 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 road single. the outdoors. these are powerful vehicles. their engines have a lot of power and they need it voluntary. they drive many kilometers a year last month, they need high payloads and a lot of flexibility. and we sure that these features will remain very important for future vehicles as well. once my team and i are interested in development in the arena refusal in particular, alternative fuels that could possibly be considered as energy sources for the powering trucks. farrakhan at the moment we're looking at hydrogen falls, but there is definitely other candidates that interest us to see them there are definitely environmentally friendly or alternative to the truck. nevertheless, only one european 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 rail transport. 7 7 via hutton shown site long island leash, uber length last couldn't be. we had been thinking for a long time about what we could do about this merch way project coming in to valise is gone. and then we discovered that other continents had the same problem, horn and off ice verizon. thus image male, we saw that more and more traffic was coming to call it more and more projects were coming home. and that this was being felt in everyday life. with these trumps driving through the villages and really making life difficult a yard, typically the slave initially and and then we said thus we can do something about it could together reminds home it was good mom, krista mutter was one of the founders of a popular initiative to protect the alpine region from too much traffic wanted any so p for which brought jak gig in the mirror care in our initiative was formed to fight heavy goods traffic in transit credit. in other words, or against the laurie's that simply crossed switzerland on their way from germany to italy. i mean, we understood very quickly that simply launching an initiative against the mote away would not work. so you have to convince people to vote for the initiative. and if you say it's against the motorway, the elk, that somehow doesn't work, also you have to formulate it positively. and that's when we had the idea of an alternate address in it. what do we do with a traffic? what we shifted to the railway is for law, couldn't off debug. with wellsystems a to you, the steel is and what is our goal? the goal is no more than $650000.00 calories a year, crossing the elm stomach. and in order to achieve based on good one of the things that is being subsidized, who is the switch to rail traffic her? so terminals being belt by switzerland can and should also participate in terminals in northern italy and southern generally. no, but kylie could ah, civil or if it was successful it was a huge move. yes, so it was a great experience to lovato. 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 who is mountainous terrain doesn't make it an obvious candidate. the ponies believed to give or to the full cut embroidery thread and cheat. the real we is popular and the people have repeatedly decided to spend billions on further expansion. these people and all real transport is fully integrated into the economy for both passenger and freight transport in the, in piccadilly. the large swiss retail chain, negro, is working to reduce its carbon footprint to an absolute minimum. that's my almost all deliveries are made by train. me it always the curious, they pretty fault they all by the cabling, negro is the largest private employer in switzerland. the by the you know, we employ almost a 100000 people bit earlier than we belong to. the people take approximately 2000000 people in switzerland are our owners, i contribute. we are a cooperative which oft truancies is reached, teach for us. it is important to make logistics all fissions and sustainable. that's all. that's why we worked according to the principal sheet real transport before road transferred. below frost on sport, the scent of ear free transports are absolutely marginal for a lot of u. k flow and most one percent of our gas or light. it's also involved if, if in exceptional cases we nevertheless have to fly good sign that up, we charge a fee for these transport ice viola. we put this money into a fund which we then use. i get to promote our own because sustainability project for often so it is wides, puny renoir, him and t content, a bond for tea. it is switzerland was a pioneer in the development of rail transport. saw our byte booth on the passenger side is and on the freight site or meet development to salmon on to i didn't grow it in the same ve line we're working on. other projects target is thorough. i one is called cargo su tara, hold on to bone. this is about building a free trail. we halted under the ground east. there was a 2nd innovative sustainability project. why is the each to mobility project in switzerland yet, which allows us to start transporting goods using fuel, cell technology, lukea, to begin and meagre also has its goods from abroad delivered almost exclusively by train, transporting goods by rail producers 43 times less c o 2 than air transport and 6 times last been transport by truck. the hooper cargo terminal north of milan is an indirect consequence of the swiss referendum. i don't see a bust guys. can i chuckle froth about that? i'm not as okay. mark on the 12345. you can use the cell. don't ship law dillard's. i did. i select that. yours doors, boom. done law in 3 in or in. but at the, i'm sorry, a memo. i checked the departing train. we have various destinations all over year. i am my, me, germany, switzerland, northern, your uncle, sweden, to at the moment we have about 25 to 30 pairs of trains here, departures and arrivals per die. we're working a full capacity and he says are ala b. o regina? can i by any chance? tell me if the a g b. u for 6 to 85. a one is arriving. marinelli, i don't see it anywhere in the departures. yes, it's arriving. ok. thanks to christie, that any gave all these trains that we brings northern europe, travel through switzerland as be through a goto tunnel. today, the trains along with them i used to be held that they used to be 550 meters long to die. they are 650 meters long, so you can say there is more work, and that is a good thing for so many. nowhere is the railway network as dense as in europe. railways have shaped our lives on the continent for the last 2 centuries, connecting cultures and boosting the economy. to day 226000 kilometers of track, criss cross europe. if you lead them end to end, you could go around the world 5 and a half times. but there's a catch. the ease rail network is a system of 26 separate rail networks that are not fully compatible with one another. to connect to europe, the you spent 27000000000 euros from 2014 to 2022 thirds of that went into expanding the motor ways. while only one 3rd was invested in rail networks. today we can easily reach major cities by high speed train. often more quickly than by plate but there are enormous 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. traffic arteries that once brought vibrancy or decaying, cutting off small towns and villages. a tragic example at the decline of the railway is coach any in north, in macedonia. the whole platform was full of people. you can't imagine her crowded it was. it took a thick with noodle. either she did it, it was clear enough to triple once a day, a freight train with over $100.00 wagons passed mindfulness. these train went through the whole of east in macedonia, 100 freight cars, and all of them here at coach any station a momento, lot in blue today. the industry is getting worse and worse with us, not like before during communist times. now come on now. no freight train has arrived for over half a year, but it would be possible at any time the station is open for freight. transferable, missouri was sick literally and that was done. it's old warren is affordable. what about the but the school so it is so the, the passenger train runs in the evening once a day the in the morning it takes people from here to scorpio and back in the evening where i didn't. oh, good. glad it wasn't them me. you not, you knew how important international train would be for these villages and towns for ship. valesh, coach any ve nature come and cha, don't travel, berrago, pitch of all the train could reach them all vanish and i was ab, brutal on to communism. we have laws even when you were the european union as a mafia. unbelievable was europe should learn from us, not the other way around. your digital names. you as good as you are without traffic. there is no life because goods and capital must be constantly on the move of men. the exchange of goods means life to his heels, the only the trains have to be used. unfortunately, that's no longer the case. the companies of disappeared and have a blessed the walk with them. if we had express trains, would i stay here and work for 200 euros? no, i would go to school p a t earn more money there with a book that's what trains are for. oh, gotcha. brownwood which means they have no way to drive anywhere up with those who have a car go to scorpion watching the rest of the stay here and courtney. it sat as all the catastrophe. it could be different, but that's the way it is. i need him a that or what then let's get to work. i didn't i buy one. mm. it's 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. ah, oh. so senator, this must have this me, wilson in france, something new is being tested here. the local government comes to the people of it's the only lives on that and we help people with their official paperwork and we take care of all kinds of documents, gal, gene, austere id drivers, license, vehicle registration, et cetera. only in a while. we're here because the next biggest city is quite far away, but you have to drive 45 kilometers for every official visit and yet, but, and there are no bosses or trains. he ha, a book with beth. many people don't have a driver's license at all. well, so we've noticed that there is an urgent need, especially in rural areas like this one in the in department and northern france. it's not easy. mpg. jessica, we have been active here for 4 years and have received more and more requests for rule that rule that up for you here about the pension application i left. exactly. she already filled it out, but they sent back more paperwork again. let's see what you all are gone. shorter law on lukewarm. so the good. no, you can't exactly say there's a lot going on here without a car. it's complicated i
