A CONCRETE COMMITMENT
Why choose modal shift?
In France, freight transport emits 29 MT of CO2, 96% of which comes from road transport. At an equivalent modal share, a 30% rise in freight traffic in France by 2030 would result in 190,000 additional trucks on the roads — an increase of 7.7 million tonnes (MT) of CO2.
The alliance of Rail and Road embodied by Rail-Road Combined Transport is a sustainable answer to the environmental and energy challenges raised by long-distance freight transport.
The Rail-Road Combined Transport technique combines the advantages of road for the first and last miles with those of rail for long distances:
ROAD:
PROXIMITY AND FLEXIBILITY
RAIL:
CAPACITY, SAFETY AND SPEED
100% of the fleet

OUR COMMITMENTS
Our commitments beyond transport
TAB Rail Road has carried out a review of the overall impact of its activity. Its ambition is to carry out its business responsibly, taking into account the impact of all its activities on the environment.
This approach has been recognised since 2017 through the ISO 14001 certification of all TAB Rail Road agencies, and through the CSR Lucie 26000 label — held by the Open Modal Group — obtained in March 2025.
