Cross alpine freight Transport flows 2009, north-south.

For the exemplary North-South direction the
picture is almost similar. About 2,428,000 tons,
the main part, was transported through Austria.
Only 326,000 tons of freight had a routing via
Switzerland. Like for South-North direction the
modal split for North-South transport flows was
highly uneven: 2,498,000 t on road are opposed
to 25,000 t on rail. This unbalanced picture can
be drawn also for routings via Austria with about
2,191,000 t transported on road and 237,000 t
on rail. Via Switzerland about 307,000 t were
transported on road while only 19,000 t crossed
the Swiss Alps on railway tracks. The main
destinations of freights with origin in South-
West Germany were areas in Lombardy Region
(road: 773,000 t, rail: 107,000 t) and South
Tyrol (road: 501,000 t, rail: 9,400 t). Other destination
regions (NUTS 3) with high amounts
of freights are Verona (road: 327,000 t, rail:
25,000 t), Trento (road: 171,000 t, rail: 26,000 t)
and Torino (road: 119,000 t, rail: 8,400 t). In
three quarters of occurred trips rail transport in
North-South direction was produced as combined
transport.
