(The Canadian Pacific Railway issued the following news release on November 3.)
TORONTO — Superior service has earned the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) one of the Chrysler Group’s top awards for transportation excellence for the fourth consecutive year.
The Chrysler Group Gold Award — earned by providing the highest quality in the day-to-day delivery of parts and finished vehicles during 2002 — was formally presented to the railway last week in Auburn Hills, Mich.
“The CPR has again achieved significant status among our logistics providers, winning a fourth consecutive Gold Award,” said Edward T. Sprock, Director of Logistics for the Chrysler Group.
“CPR has demonstrated the ability to partner with us in pursuit of significant improvements in cost, quality and delivery time,” added Mr. Sprock. “They exemplify the Gold standard, adopting our critical success in speed, technology and consistency.”
In June of this year, CPR won a five-year extension of its contract to provide transportation for Chrysler Group finished vehicles within Canada, from Canada to the United States via Chicago, and from the U.S. to Western and Eastern Canada via Chicago and Albany, N.Y.
