KiwiRail and Fonterra are celebrating a full return of rail volume to Northland rail, with the North Auckland Line reopening in September, Fonterra has gradually ramped up its rail volume to sixteen rail wagons per day.
Each tonne of freight moved by rail results in a 70% reduction in carbon emissions compared to road transport, supporting Fonterra’s dedication to lowering its environmental impact while meeting the needs of its customers.
A resilient North Auckland Rail Line is critical to Fonterra’s network and delivery to its customers. KiwiRail Chief Asset Development Officer David Gordon says the North Auckland Line has undergone significant work to improve resilience.
