Aircraft & Trucks

Air Freight is currently transported by trucks (50%) or by aircraft (50%)

• Truck flows represent 180 million TKM*
• Air flows represent 170 million TKM*

Equivalent in kilos of Carbon :

• Trucks emit 11 millions kg of CO2 (+/- 3 million)
• Aircrafts emit 77 millions kg of CO2 (+/- 25 millions)

Carex trains will emit only 3,3 million kg of CO2 (+/- 800,000).

CAREX trains will emit on average 17 times less Carbon  than the aircrafts and the trucks which are currently used.
