Investment in modern intermodal equipment


GB Railfreight and rolling stock company Porterbrook are cooperating in the production of 50 new Greenbrier box wagons. The transaction marks a renewed commitment to developing sustainable freight transport to meet the significant expected growth in the sector, the two companies said.

 

Recent research by Ipex on the UK market, commissioned by Porterbrook, cited projections that intermodal railfreight is forecast to grow by over 10% between 2022 and 2034, while construction sector traffic is expected to increase by up to 35% over the same period.

 

The investment in new wagons will also help shift the transport of goods from road to rail, the companies added. (ben)
