Logistics & Supply Chain Events

When: 07 June 2022, 11:00 - 14:30
Where: The HUB at DIRFT, Dirft Drive, Crick, Northamptonshire, NN6 7GZ


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.

Speaker: Barrie Louw

During the previous 5 years the Logistics Institute at the University of Hull has worked on several projects relating to the coordination and optimisation of international and national multimodal freight routes and logistics. In the world of supply chain disruption and increasing pressure to deliver on decarbonisation targets, the traditional approaches to freight movement need to be constantly re-evaluated and adapted. What are the insights that can be gained from the projects and research conducted by the Institute? Rail freight is one of the keys to a carbon neutral future for supply chains. We will have a look at some of the opportunities and challenges that this industry face and the work done by the Institute to provide the data to measure the positive impact that rail freight presents.
 
Barrie Louw heads the Logistics Institute. Barrie has more than 25 years’ experience working in supply chains. He implemented integrated business systems, led improvement projects and managed multi-national supply chains, before joining the Logistics Institute 2017.

• William Rowe, CEO – Octopus Energy

Zero emission technology is rapidly advancing as the UK looks to decarbonise. There are various options available and each one can be applied to different scenarios. Each bus, coach and freight operator will have different circumstances, with local and longer distance routes, and a range of depot sites and infrastructure to support their operations. 


Key speakers from the electric, hydrogen and fuel cell industries will give us a detailed insight into how each technology is developing and how it can be deployed effectively and efficiently in both the road freight and bus and coach industries over the coming months and years.
