Transport accounts for a large share of most companies’ Scope 3 emissions. Moving heavy cargo from road to rail is one of the fastest ways to bring that number down \u2014 often while saving money.<\/p>\n

The numbers<\/h2>\n

A freight train can move the load of more than 70 trucks while emitting up to 70% less CO\u2082 per tonne-kilometre. Over long land distances, that difference adds up quickly.<\/p>\n

Speed and reliability<\/h2>\n

Rail is slower than air but faster than ocean on many Asia\u2013Europe routes, and fixed weekly departures are not affected by road congestion or driver shortages.<\/p>\n

How intermodal works<\/h2>\n

Containers travel by truck to the railhead, by rail across the long-haul section and by truck again for the final miles \u2014 with no re-handling of the goods inside.<\/p>\n

Reporting your savings<\/h2>\n

Every rail shipment we move comes with an emissions report you can use directly in your sustainability disclosures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
