Contemporary statistics on energy use in domestic transportation clearly show that road traffic dominates significantly. And forecasts suggest that it will further increase.

When it comes to transportation, railways have many advantages compared to cars or trucks, especially from an environmental perspective. (On an Öresund train set, as many passengers fit as in six buses or 60 cars.) A goods train can handle as much cargo as 40 trucks.

To encourage more people to choose railways in the future, there must be conditions for efficient transportation. Today, several efforts are being made to modernize Sweden's railways.
