EcoTransIT
Calculation and analysis of energy consumption and freight emissions.Press
Calculate your emissions!
Check the emissions of your travel and the travel of the products you buy in the best possible way!
EcoPassenger and EcoTransIT Worldare two user-friendly internet tools to compare the energy consumption, CO2- and exhaust atmospheric emissions for planes, cars and trains (and trucks) in Europe. With "the best possible way" we mean the most fair and comprehensive way. The methodology behind the calculations are sound scientific, focusing on a life cycle approach to the energy involved, and approved by the European Environment Agency.
