Case Study: Large Construction Equipment Manufacturer achieves 20-30% cost reduction and 50% lower carbon footprint with BNSF Logistics

BNSF Logistics Simplifies Rail Transportation for Equipment Manufacturer

A large construction equipment manufacturer and its dealer network worked with BNSF Logistics to address high transportation costs while also improving environmental stewardship. The company had considered rail transportation as a solution, but the complexity of coordinating it across manufacturing locations and dealers had delayed adoption.

BNSF Logistics implemented a bundled, end-to-end rail transportation program that combined multiple service providers across several modes, simplifying clearance, pricing, loading, unloading, and visibility. By partnering with BNSF Railway and CSX, BNSF Logistics created a faster, more scalable process that delivered 20–30% cost reduction, more than 50% carbon footprint reduction, and improved customer satisfaction through a door-to-door service model.
