EU project investigates the true cost of goods transport

The lorry and its footprint

Oct 19, 2004 | REMIGIUS NIDERÖST

The EU wants to shift the growing level of transported goods from the roads onto the railways. The Eureka Logchain Footprint project aims to deliver the scientific basis for a heavy goods vehicle surcharge similar to that already in force in Switzerland. A measurement station will be set up, under the leadership of the Empa, to measure the “environmental footprint” of lorries and coaches.
