The largest British retailer Tesco plans to expand the use of trains to transport goods from Spain. This will help him to reduce emissions while protecting supplies, which is complicated by a shortage of truck drivers.
In recent months, the company has started to use more frequent rail transport to import fruit and vegetables from Spain to the United Kingdom.
It now has the ambition to increase the transport of containers by rail from 65,000 per year to 90,000 containers by November or December.
“We are one of the few, if not the only, food retailers in Britain to use the railways extensively,” said Murphy, adding that this also helped the chain better cope with the problem of road haulage.
“To put it in context, transporting 65,000 containers by rail will save around 35.40 million road kilometers per year,” he said.
Britain has been hit by lack of truck drivers. Some retailers and oil companies have warned that they have difficulty providing services in full.
In addition, many large companies are either under pressure to reduce emissions or, like Tesco, set targets in this area.
Murphy added that, despite the difficulties, Tesco had done a “fantastic” job of securing food transport to shops without increasing food waste.
