New record volume of transalpine goods traffic2002-10-17
In 2001 the volume of goods transported across the Alps in Austria, France and Switzerland reached a record total of 137.2 million tonnes, an increase of 3.2% over the previous year. 67% of the total went by road and 33% by rail. In Switzerland the percentage of transalpine goods shipments sent by rail decreased from 70% in 2000 to 67% last year, although the figure is still relatively high compared with Austria (28%) and France (19%). These are just some of the statistics in the latest report from the Swiss Federal Office of Spatial Development (ARE), which has been monitoring developments in transalpine goods transport for several years now.
