The source adds: "Tonne-kilometres per year represents a combination of the
amount of goods transported and the distance over which the goods were moved. A
value of 150 billion tonne-kilometres might reflect a performance of 1 billion tonnes
over an average distance of 150 km, as well as 500 million tonnes over 300 km
distance."
