2. LOGISTICS
• Logistics : logistics is the management of the
flow of goods between the point of origin and
the point of consumption in order to meet
some requirements.

3. RAIL LOGISTICS
• RAILWAY FREIGHT STRUCTURE:
1)ability to pay principle
2)speed
3)distance
4)liability of risk
5)frequency of service
6)type of wagons
7)nature of commodity-bulk and
quantity

4. • 8)nature of commodity-liability to
damage
• 9)nature of commodity-liability to
inflammation/explosion
• 10)nature of commodity-size and packing
of consignment

5. CLASSIFICATION OF RAILWAY FREIGHT
RATES
• 1)CLASS RATES
• 2)WAGONLOAD RATES
• 3)SMALLS
• 4)RISK RATES
• 5)TRAINLOAD RATES
• 6)STATION TO STATION RATES
• 7)SPECIAL RATES

Scenario

9. Environmental Performance
• Currently in the EU more than 20% of greenhouse gas emissions
(CO2) comes from the transport sector (Source: Eurostat)
• Road transport accounts for more than 90% of greenhouse gas
emissions (CO2) in EU (Source: Eurostat)
• Environmental performance of the present system of rail shuttle
services connected to port of Göteborg:
C02
(ton) NOx(kg) HC (kg) CO (kg) PM(kg) SO2
(kg)
-42 542 -322 970 -47 945 -40 673 -6 098 -2 628
Annual decrease in emissions compared to direct road:

10. Environmental Performance
- In the future
• 0,3-0,7% decrease of Sweden's total CO2 emissions
• Based on EU goal to decrease by 20% compared to 1990
level this would achieve one twentieth of the goal for
Sweden
CO2 reductions (ton)

11. ADVANTAGES
• 1)economy
• 2)efficiency of energy
• 3)reliability

12. DISADVANTAGES
• 1)rail traffic is competitively uneconomically
for small shipments and for haulage over short
distance.
• 2)the inflexibility of terminals renders it
unsuitable for haulage to remote stations.
• 3)terminal handling facilities are costly.
• 4)the time schedules are inflexible.

ASSOCIATIONS IN INDIA
road Logistics:
Goods are transported mainly by road and rail in India.
•Road transport is controlled by private players,
•Rail transport is largely handled by the central
government.
•With the second largest road network in the world, road
contributes to 54.5% of the freight transport.
•Road is preferred because of its cost effectiveness and
flexibility.

Government is now betting big on public-private partnership projects (PPPs) for
the development of
• highways,
• port connectivity,
• dedicated freight corridors and
• establishment of free trade warehousing zones (FTWZ).
•There is need for Exim based logistics infrastructure like number of ICDs needed
would be doubled in next 5 to 10 years and critical need for Free Trade
Warehousing Zones (FTWZ)

17. ADVANTAGES
• 1)through movement
• 2)flexibility
• 3)less capital costs
• 4)fast turn around
• 5)immunity from industrial action
• 6)adaptability in inter model operations

18. DISADVANTAGES
