Energy consumption and exhaust emissions per person-kilometer or load-kilometer are investigated for different types of transport and vehicle. Passenger transports, included cars and buses, trains, and aircraft; goods transports included trucks, trains, and coastal cargo boats. In passenger traffic, electric trains have both the lowest energy consumption and lowest exhaust emissions compared to any other type of vehicle, regardless of the method of electricity production. Goods transported by rail are accompanied by lower exhaust emissions than other types of vehicles regardless of the method of electricity production. On condition that energy from hydro-electric sources is used, goods transported by rail also have the lowest energy consumption.
