ShareTORONTO -- In an effort to reduce energy consumption and improve service, CN has added 200 EcoTherm containers to their EcoTherm fleet. Now with nearly 500 containers, CN's EcoTherm fleet is the largest in North America.
CN's temperature-sensitive intermodal markets have been growing, according to the company, and the EcoTherm containers allow food and beverage customers to load the same volume of goods in the 40-foot container, without the need for blocking and bracing required in a 53-foot container.
CN also purchased 25 EcoRide chassis that weigh 15 percent less than conventional chassis. The new chassis come equipped with side skirts and low-rolling resistance tires. CN said that containers delivered on EcoRide chassis burn 11 percent less fuel than containers delivered on traditional chassis.
Jean-Jaques Ruest, CN executive vice president and chief marketing officer said that the new containers and chassis will help CN reduce "the energy intensity of its customers' supply chains and position us to grow our business."
