Sustainable mobility

Reducing emissions from transport is a pillar of the Green Deal. Today, transport emissions account for around 25% of the EU's total greenhouse gas emissions and have increased in recent years. The goal of being the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 requires ambitious changes in the transport sector, enabling a 90% reduction in transport-related greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

European policies support the modal shift from heavy goods transport to freight trains, while rail operators and rolling stock companies invest to increase the share of electric locomotives in their fleets. The electrification of road transport is advancing by supporting investments in charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.

In 2023, IDF1 participated in the green loan in favour of one of the main European lessors of locomotives and vehicles for freight and passenger transport functional to the acquisition of a fleet of electric locomotives for freight transport on European corridors, in line with the aim of reducing climate-changing gas emissions.
