Calculate your carbon footprint EcoTransIT calculates and compares energy consumption and emissions of pollutants by rail, road, air and sea shipments over almost any route worldwide. The tool is available free of charge online and also delivers reliable results for individually created transport chains with multiple modes of transport.
The Expert mode enables you to set parameters such as size, emission class, load factor and proportion of empty runs for each mode of transport. If goods are transhipped, you can also sort the results by the destination and type of load being transferred (bulk goods, liquids, etc.). The link to Google Maps enables you to visualise the route selected.
EcoTransIT is international and intercontinental Calculations also take into account country-specific factors, such as topography or the type of energy used to power rail services. EcoTransIT thus covers all European countries and the most important freight destinations worldwide.
Jointly developed tool SBB Cargo commissioned the development of the tool together with other European rail networks, the independent Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IFEU) in Heidelberg and the Institute for Applied Ecology (Öko-Institut e.V.), and is involved in constantly developing and upgrading it. EcoTransIT is recognised as an official partner of the European Commission's "Sustainable Energy Europe" campaign.
