Heidelberg Materials France has been working hard for many years to implement sustainable transport solutions, supporting its decarbonization goals by using river and rail transport. Lineas is an important partner, providing reliable and high-quality rail transport that meets the requirements of Heidelberg Materials France, especially for deliveries to the Paris Basin.
The partnership focuses on the punctuality of deliveries, which is critical for construction projects. This is achieved through high-quality daily interaction between the operational teams of both companies. Lineas, for its part, is actively working on its decarbonization strategy by using electric locomotives and biofuels, as well as training drivers in eco-driving methods.
The results of the collaboration are impressive: in 2023, the carbon footprint of Lineas transports for Heidelberg Materials France was 90% lower than when transporting the same volumes by road. To mark this achievement, Lineas presented Heidelberg Materials France with a miniature locomotive, which became a symbol of existing solutions for decarbonizing supply chains.
