Concept
Transport in Estonia
Résumé
Transport in Estonia relies mainly on road and rail networks.
Total: 57,565 km (including 16,465 km of national roads)
Paved: 12,926 km (including 99 km of limited-access roads)
Highways in Estonia
National roads form the core of Estonian road network. Their total length is 16,489 km (or 28% of all roads), 67% of them are paved. They are divided into 4 classes according to importance:
main roads (1,607 km)
basic roads (2,406 km)
secondary roads (12,476 km)
local roads (18,455 km)
Estonia is the first country in the EU and in the world to introduce a nationwide, publicly serviced charging system for charging the batteries of electric vehicles. The 165 fast charging stations are equipped with connectors of the CHAdeMO standard. They are located throughout the entire country, including the islands, and have a maximum distance of 40–60 km in between. The charging stations can also be navigated via a smartphone app (currently only for Android). The relatively dense network and 30 minute quick charges are built to enable a country-wide electric vehicle network. The system offers a unitary booking service and several different tariffs, some of which appear attractively low priced. The charging station network puts Estonia at the forefront in Europe even though Norway actually has a higher penetration of electric vehicles. Estonia has a rate of 1 electric vehicle per 1,000 capita, whereas Norway has 4 EVs per 1,000 capita.
Rail transport in Estonia
Total: 900 km common carrier lines only (1,200 km including dedicated industrial lines)
Broad gauge: 900 km or gauge (133 km electrified)
Latvia – yes – same gauge
Russia – yes – same gauge
Public transport in Tallinn
There has been a growing tram network in Tallinn, Estonia since 1888, when traffic was started by horse-powered trams. The first line was electrified on October 28, 1925. The first electric trams were built by Dvigatel, Ltd., in Tallinn before World War II and for some years after that, the last one in 1954. In the 1920s and 1930s gas-powered trams were also used.
