Freight Transports of the Future

In its January 2008 report the Infrastructure Commission analysed the Danish freight transport. The Government presented a traffic initiative, “Sustainable Transport – Better Infrastructure”, in December 2008.

With the political agreement on “A Green Transport Policy” of January 29, 2009, the Government, the Social Democrats, the Danish People’s Party, the Socialist People’s Party, the Danish Social-Liberal Party and Liberal Alliance agreed on a number of overall principles and concrete initiatives as part of a green transport policy.

The present statement treats the significance of this framework in relation to Danish freight transport, describing the overall freight strategy as stated in the government basis.
