Rail traffic on Eurasian corridor (still?) goes on
The Group of European Trans-Eurasia Operators and Forwarders (Geto) is concerned that the Ukraine conflict could have a negative impact on the Eurasian transit corridor. This could disrupt critical supply chains and eliminate thousands of jobs.
Geto’s main priority is to maintain its own service offer, especially for Europe, as long as possible. The task is to make sure that the Eurasian corridor can be rebuilt and developed even after a possible collapse of the market, the group said.
Climate-friendly freight transport by rail is becoming increasingly important for global supply chains. Compared with airplanes, rail produces around 95% fewer CO2 emissions and almost 70% fewer than trucks. (ben)
