A dairy product company, Yéo frais, and Stef, a logistics company, are launching a combined rail/road refrigerated transport route.
The products are transported from the production factory near Toulouse to a distribution hub near Paris.
The delivery operation takes place 5 days a week and uses an intermodal container that can contain up to 21 tonnes of goods under controlled temperature at 2-4°C.
The train section of the journey lasts 13.5 hours but is preceded and followed by sections involving transport by truck.
Eventually, five containers will be used and substantial savings are expected: the equivalent of removing 1250 trucks from the roads, 875 000 less kilometres travelled and a 769 tonne reduction of CO2 emissions.
