While solutions like biofuels are slowly scaling up to reduce long-haul truck transport emissions, millions of miles of railroads are ready now – and can offer the best option for lowering the logistics footprint of overland transport. A single freight train running between Munich and Berlin toda...
Buying a lift truck is not the only way to acquire a vehicle - lease and rental are also two viable options. In my opinion, more users should look closely at these alternatives and incorporate them into their fleet purchase strategy. One... D Luton - 《Materials Management & Distribution ...
Consumer demand is shifting to cargo, which can be moved either by truck or rail. This shift is being captured today by the trucking industry. Also, the total number of units (represented by the blue line) has been decreasing continuously in the last three years. Total freight r...
Until the 1960s, railways dominated freight across every distance bar the shortest. Much freight went by sea, and some by truck.
As a percentage, far more freight moves in the US by rail (vs. truck) than almost any other country in the world.Europe and Japan are not even close. Specifically, about 40% of US freight moves by rail, vs. just 10% or so in Europe and less than 5% in Japan. As a result, far...
If just 25% of the truck traffic moving at least 750 miles went by rail, annual greenhouse gas emissions would fall by approximately 13.1 million tons. A great example of a real environmental impact: One of our national fast-food restaurant chain customers brought private railcars into its ...
Prices for “intermodal” freight have spiked. Intermodal involves a combination of several modes of transportation: in the continental US, mostly truck and rail, such as a container hauled by truck to an intermodal facility, loaded on a train, and at the destination transferred to a truck for...
One tonne of freight can be railed roughly 200 km on a single litre of fuel vs. 60 km by truck. Greater volumes also create economies of scale, further reducing costs which can then be passed onto customers. INCREASING EFFICIENCY The time taken to clear cargos by rail on a per-tonne bas...
