Sustainable Freight Transportation for your Supply Chain
• Rail is the most environmentally efficient mode of surface transportation , and our customers recognize it as an effective way to REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS .
• At BNSF , we are committed to IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR NETWORK in a way that benefits both our customers and the environment .
• In 2022 , shipping with BNSF enabled our customers to reduce their total carbon emissions by 23.9 million metric tons . That ’ s the equivalent of TAKING 5.2M VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD *
• On average , BNSF trains move one ton of freight NEARLY 500 MILES ON JUST ONE GALLON OF DIESEL FUEL . *
• On average , trains are three to four times more fuel efficient than their highway counterparts and LOWER GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS by more than 75 %. **
• If 25 % of truck traffic moving at least 750 miles went by rail instead , annual GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS WOULD FALL BY 13.6 MILLION TONS . **
