First westbound route with smart container
Far East Land Bridge (Felb) is teaming up with European technology provider PEOPLE to demonstrate new standards in green logistics by using smart Container2.0 and future oriented technologies.
The Eurasian railway operator recently finished a transportation service with this new container type over a route of 10,000 km from Suzhou in China to Duisburg in Germany with less emissions and a higher sustainability score due to light weighted and eco-friendly Container 2.0. A modality that could help companies worldwide to reduce their ecological footprint, FELB said.
The ISO-certified containers can be manufactured, shipped and packaged like traditional containers. Light weight shipping leads to less fuel and Container 2.0 allows to load more cargo in the same type of container, which also increases payload per FCL.
With the implementation of Container2.0, Felb is one of the first railway transportation company adopting eco-friendly containers in its service. (ben)
