The challenges of freight transport for our environment<\/h2>\n
\n\t

In France, transport is responsible for a third of CO2 emissions. Almost 90% of goods travel by road.
\nHowever, in terms of efficiency, the train performs much better than road transport: a train can carry on average the equivalent of the load of 50 trucks. Choosing rail freight means choosing our planet to transport more goods, to relieve road congestion, to reduce the number of accidents and to reduce the ecological footprint of the logistics chain.
\nAt CAPTRAIN France, we believe that rail freight is a solution of the future because it is an ecological solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Rail: an attractive and eco-responsible sector<\/h2>\n
\n\t

15,000 trains run every day in France to allow everyone to move and companies to transport their goods (cereals, consumer products, etc.) in complete safety and with respect for the environment. performance is also ecological, we are proud to contribute to the construction of a greener world by providing our customers with efficient, less polluting transport solutions, real alternatives to the road.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Eurodual captrain france: first hybrid dual-mode locomotive in europe<\/h2>\n
\n\t

Already with a fleet of over 100 thermal and electric locomotives, CAPTRAIN France acquired in 2018 the very first hybrid dual-mode locomotive in Europe. It transports the natural mineral water of the VITTEL\u00ae brand between its plant and the Arles logistics platform.
\nThanks to EURODUAL's dual-mode traction, combining an electric motor and a latest-generation heat engine, the locomotive is able to run on either electrified or non-electrified lines. Thus, on this 600-kilometer journey, using the Eurodual makes it possible to switch to almost entirely electric power and to reduce CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions by 80% on each journey. A saving of 1,920 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year! In thermal mode, its fine particle emissions are 10 times lower than those of a standard diesel engine and its nitrogen oxide emissions are almost halved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Captrain France is committed to the climate with rail freight forward<\/h2>\n
\n\t

By 2030, freight transport is projected to increase by 30%, which could represent 1 million more trucks on Europe's roads in the next 10 years. In order to bring together the conditions for the development of rail freight, some fifteen European rail freight companies and federations have launched \"Rail Freight Forward\", a coalition which aims to increase the share of rail in land transport of goods to 30 % by 2030 by doubling the volume of rail freight in Europe.<\/p>\n

Rail freight forward's ambitions for the future of rail freight<\/h3>\n

Rail Freight Forward calls on policy makers and key players in the sector to implement the external conditions necessary for the success of a significant modal shift.
\nFirst, the development of a competitive rail offer goes hand in hand with that of a rail infrastructure that would make the movement of trains across Europe as easy as that of trucks. This requires infrastructure managers to deploy a network that is easy to access, well managed and reliable.
\nNational authorities and those of the European Union are invited to provide a transparent and solid regulatory framework so that infrastructure managers can set up this network.
\nRail Freight Forward is also asking the authorities to make competition between rail and road fairer by better covering its external costs by road transport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
