In the 2011 traffic goods through the Swiss Alps it has grown of 4.5% reaching the quota record of beyond 40,1 million tons of transported cargos on the road and on track. The precedence record, light inferior, was established in 2008 with the 40,1 million one tons. In particular, last year the railroad has transported 25,6 million tons of goods (+6.5%), a volume unprecedented in this field, while via road tons (+0.9% are transported 14,5 million).
The recorded total increment in 2011 is determined by the progression of the traffic in the first semester, to which an light decrease of the volumes is followed. In the first six months last year the transalpine traffic goods is piled to 20,9 million tons (+9.9% on the first semester of 2010), of which 13,4 million tons via railroad (+12.7%) and 7,5 million tons via road (+5.3%). In the second half of the year of the 2010 traffic it has been of 19,2 million tons (- 0.9% on the second half of the year 2010), of which 12,2 million tons via railroad (+0.5%) and 7,0 million tons via road (- 3.4%).
In the field of the street transports, in the 2011 number of travels through the Alps he has remained altogether stable attesting itself to beyond 1,2 million truck (+0.1%), with a +4.3% in the first semester and a -3,9% in the second. The Helvetic department of the Transports has found that the number of the race transalpine, of 1.258.000, remains very to above of the fixed objective in the law on the transfer of the traffic the goods, that is to say 650,000 race per year in 2018, and is moreover clearly advanced to the intermediate objective of a million race fixed one at the end of 2011. The department has remembered that therefore last December, to the action of the publication of the relationship on the transfer of the traffic, the Swiss federal Council has announced the adoption of additional measures and that now the relationship is to the examination of the parliamentary commissions.
Sul forehead of the rail shipment, as in 2010, last year greater increase (+7.3%) is recorded in the arranged transport not accompanied (TCNA), that it has reached "an historical" quota market of 39.8%. The department of the Transports has found that, in spite of an improvement in the first semester, the volume of goods transported in permane single wagons to an inferior level to that precedence to the economic crisis of 2009; the travelling freeway has marked a decrease in the second half of the year of 2011 (- 2.4%).
