University of Birmingham: Moving freight from road to rail

The University and Pass Logistics have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore ways of tackling this challenge, which is key to reducing the carbon footprint of freight transport.

Researchers in the University’s Centre of Excellence in Rail Decarbonisation, within the Birmingham Centre for Railway Research and Education (BCRRE), will work collaboratively with Pass Logistics experts committed to moving traditional road container haulage onto the railways.
