I'm not seeing where it says that? It explicitly says, for 2050, "Road use at 60% of 2020 levels" and "Electric trains the preferred mode of travel for people and freight over all significant distances". If you mean "flying and shipping are at zero" then yes but that's only because they don't envisage having net-zero planes and ships by 2050. If electric planes and ships arrive before then, they'll be usable under this plan (as it says under "Beyond 2050").
