Abstract

This note compares various figures for direct EI (Energy Intensiveness) for different modes of long-haul passenger and freight transport. 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.
