Eskom aiming to slash truck-delivered coal as it seeks cost, other benefits

State-owned power utility Eskom continues to press ahead with its integrated logistics strategy of prioritising the use of conveyors and rail to reduce the number of trucks that are required to transport coal to power stations, says Eskom road logistics head manager Nico Singh. However, he notes that there will always be an element of road haulage use for Eskom as it provides flexibility to the company’s supply chain.
