P&G pledges to triple rail freight traffic
Tue, 31 Mar 2009
Retail giant Procter & Gamble (P&G) has announced it will increase its use of rail freight distribution from 10% to 30% by 2015.
It said the move was part of a carbon emissions reduction scheme and would involve increasing the number of intermodal movements across North West Europe.
Didier Delmotte, P&G product supply operations director Western Europe, said: "The pilot schemes have been supplying the UK, France, Belgium and Iberia by train and have proved a huge success. Rail is a major opportunity in Western Europe and the collaboration between shipper, container operator and rail provider is key."
