Decarbonising long distance road hauls is one of the biggest challenges we face as logisticians. Modal switch to rail is increasingly being used by many companies as part of the answer - and to reduce the number of HGV drivers required. Over 40% of all rail freight in the UK is now consumer goods and this is growing rapidly.
As a follow-up to the successful joint Retail, Food & Reverse Logistics Forum and Rail Freight Forum meeting on 14th March, a visit has been arranged to Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) - the epicentre of rail-based logistics in the UK - on 7th June, 1100-1430. The visit is courtesy of Prologis and Malcolm Logistics, respectively the owner and operator of DIRFT, and will examine how intermodal rail can be integrated into supply chains, enabling RFRLF members to see at first-hand how the system works in practice.
For those travelling by train, a bus will leave Rugby station at 10:45 and will return there after the visit. Please advise at the time of booking if you wish to use this bus link.
