Green Business

Promodal, a leading operator in the Green Business

According to a general definition, the Green Business or Green Economy, is made of all those economic activities undertaken by “all the companies that produce goods or services aimed at avoiding, reducing or eliminating environmental pollution”.

Promodal, thanks to its combined road-rail activity, takes part in current environmental preoccupations, with no detriment to their benefits. Placing Green Business at the heart of the company, creates positive value for its clients, for its investors and for the environment.

Thanks to piggyback, become at once our client and an operator in Green Business!

Comparing CO₂ emissions

Here’s an example to see the different impact of road transport and combined road-rail transport on the environment :

Route: a 20 tons truck from Roissy Airport (Paris) to Nîmes (730 km)

Carbon assessment :

100% road transport: 660 Kg of CO₂.

Combined road-rail:

• By road: Roissy – Valenton: 35 Km, equivalent to 31 Kg of CO₂ emission.
• By rail: Valentin – Avignon: 700 Km, equivalent to 52 Kg of CO₂ emission
• By road: Avignon – Nîmes: 46 Km, equivalent to 41 Kg of CO₂ emission

For a total emission of 124 Kg of CO₂ with combined road-rail transport.

Conclusion : This example shows that piggyback, this alternative mode of transport, pollutes 5 times less than road transport.
