CN offers online tool to calculate carbon emissions, rate at same time


advertisement
Yesterday, CN announced that shippers now can use an online tool to simultaneously secure a rate and calculate carbon emissions by switching shipments from truck to rail. The two-pronged tool is a rail industry first, according to CN.

The online application calculates carbon emission reductions based on the average shipment lading weight for a single rail car or container, while CN’s “Get Carload Price” and “Get Intermodal Price” public pricing tools provide an estimated rate.
