Stobart Rail and DB Schenker Rail (UK) have launched temperature-controlled intermodal services from Valencia to the UK via the Channel Tunnel.

The service will offer a shared multi-client train for new and existing customers of both companies.

By working together, all road and rail assets will achieve high levels of utilisation, thereby enabling a commercially sustainable door-to-door solution for companies involved in the export of fresh products.

The proposition is unique in that all rail traction is provided by a single rail freight operator across three countries, with the involvement of DB Schenker’s European subsidiaries: Euro Cargo Rail in France and Spain.

Stobart’s planning infrastructure and capability in the fresh and chilled sector enables shipments to be monitored from the pack-house to the store.
