                                      Berlin. The transport performance of the passenger railways has increased by 20 percent over the last 10 years, whereas car usage has almost stagnated, with growth of just four percent. This is shown by the latest figures from the German statistics office (Destatis) and calculations made by the Pro-Rail Alliance on the basis of an official forec...

                                      Berlin. The price of transport for consumers has increased considerable faster during the last few years than the overall cost of living in Germany. According to latest figures from the Federal Statistics Office (destatis), whereas the cost of living in Germany increased by 11.1 percent since 2005, consumers had to dig far deeper into their pock...

                                      Berlin. The so-called Gigaliners are not yet on the roads but they have for months been the cause of heated debate. Now there are new concerns. &quot;The signal lights and control of the barriers on level crossings in Germany were not designed for longer vehicles (LHVs). The current clearance times were calculated for the regular HGV maximum length o...

                                      Berlin. When it comes to modal shift from the roads to the railways, there is plenty of unexploited potential in Germany. On Wednesday in Berlin, the German Pro-Rail Alliance referred to the latest figures from Switzerland, where trans-alp transport has reached a market share of over 64 percent. In other European countries, for example Austria o...

The German Pro-Rail Alliance has welcomed the joint decision by the parliamentary factions of the Greens and the SPD to question the constitutional legality of the trials of mega trucks, planned for 2012. &quot;It is necessary that judicial clarity be sought on the legality of the highly controversial trials of longer heavy goods vehicles,&quot; s...

In Germany, the railways have also retained their top position as the safest transport mode.
