Freight forwarding goes right back to the 1800’s!

Back in 1836, Thomas Meadows and Company Limited of London, began to see the need for this industry following the demand created by more reliable rail transport and steamships. Trade was increasing to Europe and North America in particular. In fact the first freight forwarders were London innkeepers who forwarded on the luggage of their hotel guests!

A key element of freight forwarding then, which still exists to this day, was the advice and professional handling of documentation and customs requirements, specialist international knowledge. As worldwide connections continued and continue to increase the demand for freight forwarding has just kept on growing right up to the present day.

Ironically, rail freight in particular, has never been in such high demand with the shortage of truck drivers and the need to reduce the carbon footprint of road miles. Currently 25% of containers from ports are transported by rail, whilst 75% travel on road freight, which means that there are great opportunities for more use of rail freight.

A freight train consumes as little as a third of the energy required by a truck and saves more than 80% of the carbon dioxide emissions. Not only does the future look bright for the industry, but also for our planet!

DHL to transition on-site fuelling stations from diesel to HVO by the end of the year

Our partner, DHL Supply Chain, has announced the acceleration of its UK road transport decarbonisation strategy for its customers.

Dhl to transition on-site fuelling stations from diesel to HVO by the end of the year.In addition to investments already made in deploying vehicles running on biogas and electric vehicles, HVO fuel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) is now actively being rolled out across the majority of its on-site fuelling stations throughout the UK, enabling DHL to assess operational processes and the performance of the fuel. With installation scheduled for completion by the end of the year, transitioning to HVO fuel will deliver 80-90% carbon savings compared to diesel; with an estimated total of 15,000 tonnes of CO2e savings being expected to be delivered.

 

Produced from biomass such as used cooking oils and waste from food manufacture, HVO is a drop-in fuel, meaning it can be used within existing vehicles without compromising operational performance; removing the need for new infrastructure or fleet.

Saul Resnick, CEO, DHL Supply Chain UK & Ireland said:

“The installation of HVO fuel across our bunkered sites represents a critical moment in our multi-fuel decarbonisation strategy. HVO improves our service to customers by introducing a low-carbon renewable alternative fuel with minimal disruption. As an industry leader, we are rolling out HVO at scale and with impressive pace, to deliver immediate and substantial carbon savings while we continue to work towards viable zero-emission alternatives. We are extending an invitation to our customers to join us on this transformative journey, and actively collaborate with us in adopting these greener alternatives, we can provide them with a powerful tool to make their supply chains greener.”
