First car-train en route from India to Nepal


Hyundai has started its first-ever eco-friendly export operations on the railways, with the dispatch of the first consignment of 125 cars from India to Nepal.

 

After a send-off ceremony, the first car-train departed from the Walajabad railway hub near the Irungattukkottai-based HMIL production facility outside Chennai last Wednesday (13 January 2021). The train is headed for the India-Nepal border at Nautanwa near the border town of Sonauli, from where the last-mile delivery will be by truck owing to the topography of Nepal.

 

The overall on-road movement time is expected to decrease from eight days to five days, bringing the cars faster and in a more eco-friendly manner to the customers. The green transport by rail will help to reduce the carbon footprint by 20,260 t. (ben)
