Overview
Background & policy context:
This details how the logistics provider TDG has worked with BP Chemicals to tailor a specific road to rail transport service.
Objectives:
This case study describes a TDG initative that was developed to:
- tailor road/rail service to customer's potential needs, but can also be used by other customers;
- have a potential to transfer 360,000 tonnes of bulk traffic from road to rail;
- save up to 3.35 litres of diesel fuel and hence reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
