I'm delighted that my Department hosted the meeting this year as a demonstration of the shared commitment we all hold to advancing sustainable, efficient, and safe transport systems across Europe and beyond. "The visit to ATC by delegates was an opportunity to learn from industry about the challenges they face in transitioning to zero emission technology. This real-world experience is invaluable for policy makers as we work together to meet our climate goals." Rainer Hoerbst, Head of Green Logistics at ATC said: "At ATC we are delighted to be able showcase our Green Logistics journey to the NORDUK meeting delegates. Sharing our experiences from the first steps of emission reduction, trialling alternative fuels, investing in and subsequently successfully operating an expansive fleet of zero-tailpipe-emission trucks and vans.

    KINTO Join, the leading sustainable mobility solutions company, has revealed its own data which shows that the company has saved over 760,500km worth of transport emissions across Europe. This equates to over 122,200kg of CO2 or 25 Olympic-sized swimming pools. In Ireland specifically, KINTO Join has helped its customers to reduce transport emissions to the equivalent of 918kg of CO2 or almost 8,000km. Across Ireland, the UK, Italy, Serbia, and Belgium, KINTO Join has facilitated almost 50,000 sustainable commuting journeys for businesses and universities, averaging savings of 5,200 kg of CO? for each organisation using its solutions. In practical terms, a company would need to grow 250 trees for at least a year to absorb these emissions. Patrizia Niehaus, CEO, KINTO Join, said: "Our data underscores the real-world value of sustainable mobility solutions in terms of reducing transport emissions. As well as enabling people to commute more sustainably, these tools empower organisations to achieve their ESG goals. "They also help countries like Ireland to take steps towards its climate targets and benefit the planet as a whole. Of course, global action is required to tackle the climate crisis, but it's important to remember that micro-level changes can collectively have a macro-level impact." Kinto Join recently launched its 'Ireland on the Move' Report to gauge commuter journeys, preferences, experiences and challenges across Ireland. See more stories here.

    Located just 10 miles west of Horseshoe Curve the “Station Inn” is a unique bed-and-breakfast alongside the old Pennsylvania Railroad mainline. Built in 1866 only a dozen years after the completion of the “Curve,” it became a sanctuary for weary travelers headed east or west and a summer retreat for many folks that lived in the Pittsburgh area. Run by Alex Lang and his wife Leah, it's become their passion of carrying on the tradition of Tom Davis who originally turned the inn into a rail fanning hot-spot in 1993. Tom was a dear family friend of the Langs and when he passed away, it seemed only natural for them to take over and continue on the tradition that had been started so many years earlier. Alex has been on the podcast before, and this episode is just as entertaining and informative as ever. Enjoy!!
