Electric rail freight can deliver faster services, greater network capacity, lower costs and significant carbon savings – but the UK must act now to maximise the value of existing electrification, according to a new industry report, written by the Railway Industry Association (RIA) in conjunction with the Rail Freight Group and the Railway Engineering Institution (RailEI), with research undertaken by the University of Birmingham.
The new report, Growing rail freight: the need for targeted electrification, highlights how increasing the use of electric rail freight could deliver immediate benefits for freight customers, passengers and taxpayers.
