BoxTube is a start-up company created by Alan Holford in 2022. Based in Shropshire, the company is on a mission to create a low-carbon granular logistics network to enable the global supply chain to decarbonise, reduce material usage and reduce air pollution.

The solution is a system that utilises a standardised reusable box, together with an automated loading and securing mechanism, to enable the rapid loading and efficient transfer of granular freight between different transport modes.

BoxTube joined the Clean Futures Accelerator programme to test and demonstrate the application of its rapid vehicle loading system in a relevant rail freight environment, in this case on BCIMO’s T69 Tram.
