Driving global trade with sustainable rail freight: reducing emissions, maximizing efficiency
With initiatives to extend freight trains and maximize their environmental benefits, including electric locomotives and even hydro-treated vegetable oil locomotives, rail is rapidly becoming a highly viable, sustainable transport option
The UK’s rail network has been moving goods since the early 19th century. After a significant downturn in the 1980s, the 1990s saw a resurgence in rail freight, driven by privatization and the opening of the Channel Tunnel. Today, rail offers unmatched reliability and sustainability—unaffected by road congestion and increasingly efficient in reducing carbon footprints
Whether you need FCL (Full Container Loads) for large volumes or LCL (Less than Container Loads) for smaller shipments, rail freight offers a tailored solution for your goods. FCL is ideal for high-volume shipments or when minimizing risk of damage is crucial, while LCL is perfect for smaller loads
