Article: DB Cargo UK secures long-term transport contract for Jaguar Land Rover’s vehicle logistics

Seven-year agreement strengthens rail freight transport between Halewood and the Port of Southampton

DB Cargo UK has entered into a new seven-year contract with CAT UK to transport finished Jaguar Land Rover vehicles from the Halewood production site in Merseyside to the Port of Southampton.

Currently, DB Cargo UK teams based in Cheshire, the West Midlands, and Hampshire operate approximately three connections per week between the two locations. In light of Jaguar Land Rover’s planned investments in Halewood, which are intended to enable the production of the next generation of electric vehicles, an increase in transport volume is expected in the future.

The partnership between DB Cargo UK and CAT UK has been in place for more than two decades. During this time, high-quality automobiles have been reliably transported by rail within the UK as well as in European import and export traffic.

The new contract underscores the importance of rail freight transport for automotive logistics. Rail offers an efficient alternative to road transport, particularly for large volumes. A freight train generates up to 80 percent fewer CO₂ emissions than comparable road transport, thereby contributing to more sustainable supply chains.
