ANITA exhorts an approach integrated to the sustainable transports that the road haulage includes also



"It is necessary an approach integrated to the sustainable transports that the road haulage includes also, in order to realize a sustainable increase that is at the same time efficient". The message launch from the National Association is this Enterprises Automotive Transports (ANITA) in occasion of own assembly held anniversary saturday to Centro Congressi Mamu of Mantua.

Evidencing that "the energetic performances of the transport improve also thanks to the investments in renew of the circulating park carried out to the aim to respect the atmosphere and safety", ANITA has been profitable notices the data of a study lead between own associates, for which - she has explained the association - the investments in goods and services you turn to the technological and ecological modernization and the formation in matter of safety and efficiency, they are indispensable in order to remain competitive. By the investigation - it has specified ANITA - it is emerged that more of 97% of the interviewed ones it has supported appreciable investments in categories relating to the sustainability and safety. Beyond 90% it has acquired new more efficient and less polluting vehicles. About 33% it has previewed formative activity for staff finalized to the energy saving; almost 30% have improved the corporate structures in terms of energy efficiency and 27% have realized an increase of intermodal transports. In addition, beyond 86% of the enterprises it has perceived as "positive" the impact of such types of investments on the medium business performance of the three years of reference (2012-2014), with 20% of the champion who has considered it "strongly positive". In fact - it has specified the association - the survey has evidenced as the medium increase of the volume of transactions has been of 13.5% regarding the enterprises that have not realized such investments which, on the contrary, has recorded a contraction of the revenues pairs to 8.4% and the results of the study confirm that greater it has been the investment, more meaningful have been the positive glare on the turnover".

"Today - ANITA president, Thomas Baumgartner has asserted - we ask the institutions to continue to support the field with measures that they stimulate I renew of the carrier language park accelerating the emanation of I decree investments, that it otherwise risks to stop the contribution of the field to the improvement of the environmental impact, and that disincentivino at the same time I use it of the vehicles of old generation".

"the ANITA companies - it has continued Baumgartner - are from always favorable to the intermodal transport and they have been some pioneer. We remain, but, of the idea that the modal conversion towards the railway one is economically sustainable only with the not accompanied system, that is loading the superstructure or the semitowing on the cars and not the entire carrier language complex and only for advanced distances to the 500 kilometers and that they are from avoiding controlled participations that force the shift modal. Servants yes a cure of the iron, but does not have to provoke a "intolerance" to the rubber".

In its Baumgartner relation it has recalled also the importance of the potenziamento of the railway infrastructure that affords uses it of long trains 750 meters and ability to cargo of 2.000 tons with the rifacimento of the galleries in order to afford the transport of semitowings of height of four meters, let alone the elimination of the double machinist.

Regarding the internalizzazione of the external costs, ANITA supports that the street congestion must be excluded from the external costs since the carrier already endures such cost, often had to inefficiency of the street infrastructure and that "it must continue with the modernization and the widening of the road net in order to face the increase of the traffic, but above all in order to increase street safety considering, moreover, than we cannot preclude the experimentation of new technologies as platooning or the gigaliner, or the semitowings P18".

ANITA has emphasized as it is necessary not single attention to the atmosphere and safety, but also to the economic sustainability of the enterprises: "we count on minister Delrio - Baumgartner has said - so that all the nodes remained still unsolved as the decontribuzione for the engaged drivers are melted in transport international, the suspension of the contribution for the SISTRUM, the "barrier to the Brenner" that she must be avoided, so as she must be avoided that norms SOLAS on marine safety are translate in a block of the Italian exports of the goods, consequence that can be asked for with the installation of hung dynamic for the container inside of the ports".

"What it counts truly - has concluded Baumgartner - is to diffuse a "culture of the sustainability" so that every company and everyone of we can indeed contribute to maintain for the future generations an intact world in the time".
