CILT Retail Forum/East and West Midlands Region is delighted to welcome Freightliner Group, to discuss how rail freight fits into modern UK supply chains and the benefits it can provide in terms of decarbonisation and business efficiency.
Rail Freight is one of the cleanest forms of transporting goods, removing between 76% to 95% carbon per tonne when compared to 44 tonne diesel road. Freightliner own and operate Rail, Terminal, and Road operations across the UK, offering a single point of contact for complete end to end operations, which provides a seamless transition from Road to Rail, storage and final mile transport for improved UK supply chains.
Rail can seamlessly integrate with your supply chains and support both seasonal activities and long-term planning. A single freight train removes up to 52 HGVs from our busy road network, allowing road operations to be remodelled for long haul and short haul operations. Operating over 200 trains per day across 10 in-land and port-based terminals, Freightliner can help adapt supply chains for improved costs and ESG benefits with scope 3 reporting.
Freightliner have 60 years of experience in managing and operating rail freight, providing the highest levels of safety and compliance in the industry. Operating right across the UK rail network, Freightliner can customise rail solutions to connect with inland terminals and cross docking through UK train stations with High Speed rail, whilst also providing final mile transportation.
Freightliner are evolving and focusing on simplified and streamlined logistics solutions, developing the knowledge of rail freight across the industry, encouraging more 3PLs and BCOs to consider all the benefits of utilising rail.
