4-meter-corridor via Gottard axis

Statement on consultation

In a nutshell


1. Corridor of 4 meters - necessary measure for Alptransit
2. Interoperability on international corridor
3. 4-meter-profile has immediate impact on modal shift
4. The line of Chiasso is more important, the line of Luino is more urgent
5. Corridor performance - a prerequisite for the degression of subsidies

 

Conclusion: Investing in a powerful freight corridor soon pays for itselves. It allows to reduce operating subsidies (about 150 million per year). But it works out only if both the Chiasso and the Luino line is equipped with the 4-meter profile. The parameters for an efficient rail freight - 750 meter train length, train weight 2000 tons with a single locomotive, profile P400 - must be implemented corridor-wide for all Swiss transit routes, including Chiasso, Luino and Lötschberg / Simplon.
