🗨️“Decarbonising transport is at the core of the EU goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as laid out in the European Green Deal.

👉Although intermodality is a key tool in that effort, the EU freight transport is not on the right track.”

🎙️Annemie Turtelboom.

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/EUauditors/status/1640622125189931008

👉Currently, the transport sector accounts for almost a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe.

Nearly three quarters of this amount is due to road transport.

🚚Trucks and lorries carrying freight on roads are responsible for around a quarter of road transport emissions
