Following a successful 6-month trial period, Ocean Network Express (ONE) UK, in collaboration with Freightliner, one of the UK's largest maritime intermodal logistics operator, is extending their adoption of HVO100 fuel for all cargo transportation via rail.
HVO, a 100% renewable fuel, is derived from sources such as vegetable oils and waste-based fats and oils from the food industry.
By transitioning to HVO, emissions of CO2 can be reduced by up to 90%, presenting a significant improvement over conventional diesel typically utilized to power freight trains. The fuel is rigorously certified, ensuring the traceability and sustainability of its source materials.
This expansion of the initiative will be integrated into ONE's broader green rail offerings, wherein customers have the option to purchase carbon reduction certificates, acknowledging their efforts to diminish their carbon footprint.
For further insights into the green offerings and their implementation, customers are encouraged to connect with their local sales representative.
Having collaborated since 2018, ONE and Freightliner recently announced a new 5-year contract, emphasizing their joint commitment to sustainability. This agreement not only ensures seamless intermodal connections from London Gateway and the Port of Southampton to key destinations across the UK but also underscores both entities' dedication to seeking and providing environmentally responsible solutions to the UK supply chain.
