Swiss transport policy in brief

• Development of an

environmentally and socially

sound transport and traffic

system…

• …economically sustainable…

• …and embedded in the

European environment

Adoption of the 1994 Alpine Initiative: mandate

for a shift of goods transport from road to rail

• Requirement: Goods traffic

passing through the Alps

should be shifted onto rail

from border to border

• Justification for Swiss modal

shift policy

• Implementation:

does not discriminate

foreign countries

Implementing the modal shift mandate:

three pillars

Target: Reducing trans-alpine road transports to 650,000 by 2018

Heavy goods vehicle charge (HGVC)

A funding and steering system

• Applies to all heavy goods

vehicles over 3.5 t

• Mileage and emission

dependent

• A lorry weighing 40 t is charged

approx. CHF 1/km

• 2/3 are used for financing rail

infrastructure,

1/3 distributed to the cantonsHGVC

40 tons and HGVC:

road traffic gets more efficient

• More freight transported with less

trucks

• Faster renewal of the vehicle fleet:

2017: 92% = EURO V and VI

Tons per heavy goods vehicle

The Gotthard and Ceneri base tunnels

• Longest railway tunnel in the

world – 57 km

• Two single-track tubes

• Highest point 550 m above sea

level

• Daily capacity of 260 goods

trains and 65 passenger trains

• Journey time saving of 45

minutes once the route is

complete (2020)

Energy demand in public transport

Goals of Energy Strategy for Public Transport 2050 (ESPT 2050)

1. Increase energy efficiency

2. Produce renewable energy

3. Reduce CO2 emissions

4. Opt out of nuclear energy

PT energy use in 2017: 4 Mrd kWh

Making the most out of specific competitive

advantages of all transport modes

Private car : 9 – 12 km

Hybrid / electric car : 12 – 16 km

How far can I go with 1 liter fuel - or 1kWh ?

Conclusion: factors of success

• Transport and energy policy are supported by the Swiss population

• Political and social culture: in Switzerland, railway ist the «good»

transport system

• Make investments in rail infrastructure to ensure the needed capacity

improvement

• Create the right incentives for market players

• further improve the competitive advantage of all public transport modes

in terms of energy efficiency
