Rail service for car maker launched


DB Cargo UK has commenced a new international rail freight services from Toton in Nottinghamshire, UK, to Valenciennes in Northern France for automotive manufacturer, Toyota.

 

This follows the construction of a new, automotive transfer facility in the East Midlands and investment by Groupe CAT in its specialist wagon fleet.

 

Following a series of successful trial runs, fully loaded trains carrying 260 vehicles are now operating between the two locations twice a week– a journey which used to take five days by road now takes just 24 hours by train and reduces carbon emissions by 2,300 t every year. (ben)
