ENVIRONMENT AGENCY WARNS OF GROWING TRAFFIC PROBLEM IN GERMANY

 

    The agency's “Data on the Environment” report, released Tuesday, found that transport was the only sector in Germany that hadn't seen a drop in greenhouse gas emissions since 1990. Instead, the levels had actually increased.

    According to the agency's data, transport is responsible for around 18 percent of the country's climate-damaging emissions. And the bulk of that amount is produced by vehicles on roads.

    “We're moving in the wrong direction,” the agency's president, Maria Krautzberger, told reporters in Berlin.

    Between 2000 and 2013, freight transport on German roads increased by almost a third, the report said. Krautzberger warned that there needed to be some “urgent” changes, with more efforts made to move goods across Germany and Europe by ship and rail, rather than by road. She added that there could be emissions limits set for trucks, as well as a truck toll for vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons.
