CILT and DB cargo are very proud to reveal their unique locomotive that holds the name of the institute. Tuesday 9 November is marked as an important date in the history of both companies. The ceremonial naming of the CILT locomotive took place at the COP26 convention on Tuesday, 9 November. Both companies view this event as an important milestone in the history of both associations.
Commenting on the event, Kevin Richardson Chief Executive at CILT, states, “The Route to Net zero emissions is a key area of focus for CILT across all sectors within the profession, and rail freight is one viable option to deliver this. Moving freight transport from road to rail using electric locomotives delivers significant benefits in terms of costs, congestion, efficiency, and reduced emissions. We are delighted that DB Cargo has offered the Institute the opportunity to have its own electric locomotive named ‘The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport’ and it is significant that this unveiling takes place during COP26.”
Andrea Rossi, DB Cargo UK CEO says, “We are one of the UK’s leading rail logistics providers so it makes complete sense for us to work collaboratively with the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. This partnership underpins our commitment to delivering sustainable, safe, and reliable rail logistics solutions. We all need to work together to make freight transport more efficient and sustainable using the resources we have today to deliver for our customers and consumers tomorrow. The modal shift must be a priority for the UK Government. Freight belongs on the rail.”
