FREIGHTLINERS: Their contribution to efficient distribution

Abstract

Freightliners operate some 190 trains and some 700 road vehicles daily. They operate 25 terminals and the number of containers carried has gone up from 391,000 in 1969 to 640,000 in 1974; the budgeted figure for 1975 is 730,000. Freightliner trains can run at 75 mph, which means they can be fitted in on fast passenger lines; there is capacity for additional business. This is a summary of a paper read at the recent National Conference of the Centre for PDM.
