Rail Freight Papers
These new papers from the Rail Freight Group and Rail Freight Operators Association focus on the international dimension
of rail freight including environmental benefits along with facts and figures on the rail industry:
Multi-modal
Logistics companies and freight forwarders are increasingly looking for opportunities to reduce costs, improve service and actively reduce their impact on the environment. In doing so, many organisations are re-examining their Supply Chains strategically to not only maximise benefits against costs but also to consider Corporate Social Responsibility and business continuity in the longer term. A number of factors have elevated modal shift to a topic worthy of serious consideration including a more environmentally aware society, rising fuel prices, more customer focused and competitive rail and water freight operators and heightened road congestion.

It features over 30 case studies reflecting different aspects of the process.
