Abstract
This review article summarizes the state of the art in energy efficiency (EE) management in air and rail cargo transportation. After an introduction, explana-tions and definitions follow around the topic of energy efficiency. The political framework conditions of the European Union (EU) as well as the associated European Union Emissions Trading System are described. In particular, the drive technologies, CO 2 emissions, and fuel-saving options are reviewed.
