The total energy cost of freight transport

David B. Reister

Energy, 1978, vol. 3, issue 4, 493-498

Abstract: In this paper, we provide an estimate of the total energy required directly or indirectly to ship 1 ton of freight 1 mile by rail, domestic water, local and intercity trucks, and air. For rail freight, a careful review of previous studies resolves several apparent contradictions.
