Which logistics solution generates the lowest emissions in your value chain?

In a global value chain where demands for efficient and lower-emission transport are increasing, the choice of transport mode plays a crucial role. Through Railport Scandinavia, logistics solutions connect inland terminals with the Port of Gothenburg, enabling efficient flows both to global markets and to final destinations across Sweden.

Data from our terminals shows that rail transport reduces CO₂ emissions by approximately 95–98% per TEU on average compared to road transport. This makes rail one of the most efficient ways to strengthen both competitiveness and performance across your logistics chain, without compromising accessibility or lead times.

Below, you can compare emission levels by destination and see how your choice of transport solution impacts your value chain in practice.

The calculations have been developed in collaboration with IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute. Vaggeryd shows a higher-than-average value for rail transport emissions, due to parts of the route not being electrified, meaning diesel is used for traction along those sections.
