Consider the following statements with reference to Roll On – Roll Off Services (RORO)

1. In RO-RO, loaded trucks are directly carried by railway wagons to their destination.
2. It reduces pollution and saves fuel.  

Select the correct statement.

Recently, the Roll On – Roll Off (RO-RO) train service was flagged off between Bengaluru and Solapur.

• In RO-RO, loaded trucks are directly carried by railway wagons to their destination.
• It reduces pollution and saves fuel as trucks are not plying on the roads because Railways provide hassle-free and environmentally friendly transport to medium to the large quantum of freight. Rail transport is the most fuel-efficient of all means of transport and is much safer than the road.

Hence both statements are correct.
