Urb-it, the rapidly growing sustainable logistics platform, is proud to announce its partnership with Varamis Rail. Together they will combine the power of rail and cargo bikes to deliver e-commerce purchases to the doorstep with minimal environmental impact.
This innovative partnership is a game-changer for the industry. Urb-it's customers can expect to receive their deliveries with minimal environmental impact through a logistics chain of electric trucks, electric rail, and e-cargo-bikes. The partnership will significantly improve efficiency, lower costs, and drastically reduce carbon emissions in the supply chain.
The solution provides several significant developments for Urb-it. First, it allows the company to grow volume with its existing customer base by connecting the UK network to multiple regions and cities, including Glasgow. Second, it puts Urb-it in a unique position to win new business through this new, fully sustainable solution. And lastly, it furthers the impact credentials of Urb-it, placing the company in a pole position for what a modern logistics service should be.
