Abstract This note compares various figures for direct EI (Energy Intensiveness) for different modes of long-haul passenger and freight transport. The figures are taken (a) from papers presented at a symposium (Transportation Research 8 No. 4/5, (1974)) and (b) from a paper by Bouladon (1974). The author comments on the high EI of superfast rail travel, especially where trains must pass through tunnels, and refers to a study dealing with power requirements for pushing trains through long tunnels.
