Railway Transport

All developed countries consider railway freight transportation a fundamental part of competitiveness, logistics and value chain. The optimization of ground transportation of minerals, industrial products, hazardous cargo and large bulk products depends largely on railway transportation.

Railway transportation allows freight transportation to have a high effect in vehicle traffic decongestion, lowers energy consumption, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and displays a very low accidental rate.

 

Why does railway transportation have a high effect on vehicle decongestion?
Railway freight transport is carried out by trains, which have a high capacity of traction. A single train can carry either hundreds or thousands of cargo tons. Read more

 

Why does railway transportation save energy?
The train´s elongated design and the use of wheels steel and rails require very little effort to keep a train running. This enables railway transportation to consume less energy than other means of transportation in transporting the same amount of freight. Read more

 

Why does railway transportation produce less greenhouse emissions?
Given the lower effort required to keep a train running, railway transportation consumes fewer oil liters per ton transported, and emits fewer greenhouse gas, especially for longer trips. Read more

 

Why does railway transportation have low accident rate?
The separation between each train and the coordination based on traffic control systems makes collisions between trains a highly unlikely event. In addition, the fact that trains operate on rails and that they have a number of warning and protection systems enabled significantly reduces the risk of accidents occurring. Read more
