Empty Volvo trains carrying palletised goods to Scandinavia

Independent Swedish logistics provider Scanlog has a contract with Volvo to deliver parts by rail for its car plant in Ghent. In principle, the wagons return empty. “As an independent rail freight forwarder, we were approached by Scanlog to seek palletised goods as return cargo to Scandinavia,” explains managing director Philippe Carrasquet of Antwerp-based Quadrum Raillogistics. “Eyecatcher of this operation is the reduction of CO2 emissions,” Carrasquet adds.
