German rail company DB and the International rail union UIC have launched a web application aimed at working out the environmental impact of a freight transport journey anywhere in the world.
Called ‘Eco-TransIT World’, it allows users to enter any number of starting points, destinations and interim stops to work out the carbon footprint of a journey by rail, road, water and air.
