At the end <strong>of</strong> the day, there is a full review <strong>of</strong> each shipment in detail including discussions on changes that should be made. HEllMANN UTIlIzES TRAIN CONNECTIONS bETWEEN bREMEN AND HAMbURG TO REDUCE CO ² EMISSIONS Max Siep, <strong>Hellmann</strong> Osnabrueck Reduction <strong>of</strong> CO ² emissions and optimization <strong>of</strong> transport chains – these are two goals that firms in the industry <strong>of</strong> logistics constantly strive to improve. To achieve these goals, <strong>Hellmann</strong> implemented a network termed “Rail Solutions” in 2004. The program is considered a great success since its inception in 2004. In May 2012, this process was developed further to transfer worldwide express cargo via rail transport from the <strong>Hellmann</strong> HUB in Bremen to the Port <strong>of</strong> Hamburg. <strong>Hellmann</strong> operates this program in conjunction with its Bremen based partner, DCP, and has for a few weeks utilized the cargo railway system <strong>of</strong> the ACOS Group (also based in Bremen). With this comprehensive system, international groupage freight, whether sent from one <strong>of</strong> <strong>Hellmann</strong>’s various branch <strong>of</strong>fices located throughout Germany or de- livered daily from a customer via direct truck transport to DCP, is packed into <strong>Hellmann</strong> containers designated for worldwide destinations and loaded directly onto the railway network. The packing division <strong>of</strong> DCP has a direct rail connection that conducts daily operations between Bremen and the Port <strong>of</strong> Hamburg. “For us, Green Logistics is not some form <strong>of</strong> lip service”, explains Karl Engelhard. “The new solution with our partner DCP clearly demonstrates how effectively we can reduce CO ² emissions by optimizing our transport chain. With this solution we expect to reduce annual CO ² emissions by approximately 200 tons.” With the “Rail Solutions” product, <strong>Hellmann</strong> connects Northern Germany’s centers with various destinations in Southern Germany by means <strong>of</strong> daily blocktrains. It is expected that with this system 240 truck trips will be replaced, saving approximately 36,000 liters <strong>of</strong> diesel fuel and nearly 86 tons <strong>of</strong> CO ² carbon emissions each day. In this comparison, the train emissions (which account for approximately 20% <strong>of</strong> truck emissions) <strong>have</strong> <strong>been</strong> taken into account. partner 02/12
