Our project is to transform high-speed rail logistics combining a repurposed all electric passenger unit and bespoke consignment device technology to support the conveyance of parcels. This technology, offered alongside a new approach to using space at stations to create easily accessible city-centre distribution hubs, will enable the operation of a new high-speed non-letters parcels service.The project meets the competitions challenge and scope through: Development and application of new technologies and approaches to rail, innovative reuse of existing rail assets (such as passenger rolling stock converted for light freight), repurposing of space at station hubs (which has been released due to changing passenger demand) and engagement with new to rail logistics operators to develop and grow new high-speed rail freight services.Furthermore, the project is in support of permanent modal shift from road to rail, delivering rail freight growth, meeting future customer needs, and realising significant emissions reductions which supports the UK's low emissions target of a 68% reduction by 2030, compared to 1990 levels through modal diversion from road.

我们的项目是改造高铁物流，结合重新调整用途的全电动客运单元和定制托运设备技术，以支持包裹的运输。这项技术与一种利用车站空间创建便捷的市中心配送枢纽的新方法一起提供，将使一种新的高速非信件包裹服务得以运营。该项目通过以下方式应对竞争挑战和范围：开发和应用铁路新技术和方法，创新地重新利用现有铁路资产(如将客运车辆改装为轻型货运)，重新调整车站枢纽的空间用途(由于乘客需求变化而释放)，以及与新的铁路物流运营商接洽，以开发和增长新的高铁货运服务。此外，该项目支持从公路到铁路的永久模式转变，实现铁路货运增长，满足未来客户需求，实现显著减排，这支持英国的低排放目标，即到2030年，通过公路交通方式的分流，与1990年的水平相比，减少68%的排放。
