March 3, 2011
Last year the volume of the goods in transit through the Swiss Alps is increased of 12.1% regarding 2009 being transported cargos for 38,3 million clean tons, of which 24 million about for railroad (+15.4%) and 14,3 about on the road (+6.9%). The volume totaled in 2010 is however inferior to that transported in 2008 (40,1 million clean tons) and in 2007 (39,5 million clean tons) and must arrive to 2006 in order to find a volume inferior (38,1 million clean tons).
In the 2010 transalpine transports on the road they have been 1.257.000 (+77 000 on 2009), number that corresponds approximately to the levels of 2007 and 2008 and therefore to the situation precedence to the economic crisis. Communicating today such data the Helvetic federal Office of the transports has evidenced as such number is by far advanced at the best maximum of 650.000 travels established from the Swiss law on the transfer of the traffic goods which objective to reach within 2018-2019 and still very advanced to the intermediate objective of a million to come true within the end of 2011. If the attainment of these objectives will not be respected - it has remembered the Office - the federal council must propose additional measures to the parliament.
In the 2010 railway traffic goods it has regained market shares passing from 60.9% to 62.7% of the total of the volumes transported regarding the year precedence. The endured losses but still are previously not recovered entirely: the volume of the goods transported (the last year 24,0 million clean tons, +15.4%) corresponds approximately to those of 2005 and 2006. The increment has been particularly sensitive in the arranged traffic not accompanied (+17.2%) and in the transport to complete wagons (+15.7%), while the traffic on the travelling freeway is only increased of 1.6%.
