T-1B2-2 - Shift to electric freight rail transportation

TBD

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: TBD.

Electric vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions. They are also significantly more energy efficient and quiet than fossil-fueled vehicles. The shift to electric freight rail reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Transition Element

• Type of shift: Type Shift
• Activity: TBD
• Operation: TBD
