Sammendrag

We have estimated the potential for increased rail transport between the largest Norwegian cities in year 2020 by considering transfer potential from existing truck transport between the same cities and expected growth in freight volumes. The potential in 2020 corresponds to a reduction of 76 - 98 million kilometers driven by trucks within Norway. However, such a potential can only be realised if the Norwegian rail sector improves with respect to punctuality and service quality, and also that the sector attracts a broader range of commodities than today. The maximum transfer potential corresponds to reduced CO2-emissions of up to 95 thousand tonnes in year 2020.
