2.2.4. Effects on the demand for freight transport
Technology will not reduce the need to transport goods. Their dematerialisation and distribution
via the Internet are transforming the direct delivery of products such as videos and software. However,
the net reduction in the volume of freight movement resulting from the dematerialisation and
electronic distribution of “info-products” is likely to be very small and exceeded by the additional
freight traffic generated by wider sourcing of supplies, a trend which will be reinforced by Internet
trading.
