5 Elements of Sustainable Transport
The elements of sustainable transport are about more than just the amount of fuel used. Whether it’s about a state or country-wide transport company or a smaller business that delivers freight around the town or city, sustainability is important because it not only helps to save the earth’s resources, but saves on costs for the company, something that should always be of importance.
Even though one train can take a great deal more freight than one truck, it is not nearly as efficient or as fast. Road rather than rail transport is much preferred these days, because trucks can deliver right to their destination without the need for that extra offloading and reloading onto trucks at both ends of the rail journey which requires even more labour and fuel resources.
