12,000 truckloads shifted to rail every year
On 4 November this year, the Swedish carrier Green Cargo will have transported goods for the energy company St1 for 25 years. Now, Green Cargo and St1 have signed an agreement to continue collaboration for two more years.
The long-lasting collaboration is a major win for the environment as well as for safer roads, said Green Cargo. In 2019, the rail company transported a total of 340,000 t of fuel for St1 in single-commodity trains from St1’s Swedish facilities in Gothenburg to depots in Jönköping and Karlstad.
A total of ten trains depart every week, five to Jönköping and five to Karlstad, with cargo classified as hazardous goods. Over the course of a year, this is the equivalent of 12,000 truckloads. (ben)
