What does the future hold for freight rail as companies seek to reduce transport emissions?

For companies aiming to diversify their logistics operations and decrease emissions compared to traditional diesel-fueled trucking, freight rail has long been an attractive option. But with the trucking industry rapidly transitioning to EVs and alternative fuels, and considering the various complexities associated with rail such as longer shipping times, can freight rail effectively compete in the future logistics market? In this session, experts from both the rail and trucking sectors will discuss how companies are currently navigating these two modalities. They will explore the efforts of freight rail companies decarbonizing emissions in a world where customer “one-day” shipping expectations prevail.
