Part of Freightliner's mission is to raise awareness of our campaign to transport more freight by rail.

Freightliner is also a member of several organisations including; Rail Freight Group, Freight on Rail, European Rail Freight Association and Freight Transport Association.

Freight on Rail

Freight on Rail is a campaigning group working to get goods off the UK’s congested roads and onto the rail network.

It consists of a partnership between rail unions, rail freight operating companies, the Rail Freight Group, Network Rail and Campaign for Better Transport.

The group works throughout the United Kingdom to promote the economic, social and environmental benefits of rail freight. It advocates policy changes that support the shift to rail from road and provides information and help on freight related issues. In particular it aims to help local authorities through all the stages of planning a rail freight strategy, accessing grants and dealing with technical matters.
