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
Federal Office of Transport, Rudolf Sperlich 10

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
Federal Office of Transport, Rudolf Sperlich 12
24 September 2018
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
Train :2.66Trolleybus :
0.08
Rack railway :0.08
Bus :0.08

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
