\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKia India<\/a> has flagged off India\u2019s first double decker freight train to transport SUVs from Penukonda railway station. The company shipped its Sonet<\/a> and Seltos<\/a> SUV through a double-decker train, aiming at faster dispatches to dealers, and consequently, to consumers.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe double-decker freight train will enhance the capacity of transporting 264 vehicles, as compared to 100 vehicles in a traditional freight train. This increased capacity will optimize operational efficiency, shorten transit times, and meet the growing demand of India\u2019s expanding automotive industry. When combined with road transportation, this efficient solution will also help reduce the carbon footprint.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHardeep Singh Brar, Senior Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing, Kia India<\/a> said, “The launch of India\u2019s first double-decker freight train for SUVs is a significant step in modernising the country’s transportation infrastructure. With reduced transit times, the waiting period for our cars will decrease, allowing SUVs delivered to our customers faster. This innovative, efficient and eco-friendly logistics solution will help accelerate our progress toward meeting our annual growth targets, while reducing our carbon footprint and contributing to a more sustainable, cleaner and connected future.”\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
