An expanded ecobonus

By: Series: Transport Analysis. Summary report ; 2019:1Publication details: Stockholm : Transport Analysis, 2019Description: 7 sSubject(s): Online resources: Notes: Transport Analysis = Trafikanalys. Engelsk sammanfattning av: Trafikanalys. Rapport : 2019:1. "En breddad ekobonus" Summary: In spite of years of political ambitions to reduce all-road transportation, the development of intermodal freight transport that uses rail and ship has been weak, and it still accounts for only a small percentage of total transport production. High transshipment costs have been suggested as one explanation for why the market has been slow to develop. Against this backdrop, the Swedish government has given Transport Analysis the task of analysing the need to promote intermodal freight transport and how that can be accomplished. If there is a need for stimulus measures, the various economic mechanisms and other measures should be analysed to determine which are cost-effective. Transshipment subsidies might be one alternative, but the assignment does not extend to tax-related proposals.
