Lecture description

Shaping the next generation of freight transport between Austria and Germany with new ideas

The transport of goods between the two countries and beyond to Italy is still heavily dependent on the Brenner axis. However, the repair of the Lueg Bridge threatens further bottlenecks. And even the major route alternatives across the Alps, such as the Gotthard route through Switzerland, do not always offer 100 per cent capacity. So what can be done? Hope in politics, strengthen rail as an alternative to road transport or use new technologies to circumvent driving bans? And what building blocks are needed to support the shift to combined transport, which is so important for decarbonisation? DVZ and VNL want to discuss this together with their guests.
