The energy used in transport
accounts for 40% of energy consumption in the
domestic sector. For instance, rail transport is
clearly underutilized in Spain, being an efficient
and widely used energy option in the most advanced
countries (Switzerland, Austria, Germany, France,
USA, Canada ....). The idea of this page is to
present works that try to make this means of
transportation even more efficient and in particular
its use for transporting goods. You can find on this
page technical data, studies, books, and information
on many different levels on the subject, and diesel
electric traction and power in general.
