Rail freight and intermodal transport

Reliable, lower-emission transport over long distances. We combine rail and road so your goods arrive on time and at a fair price.

We arrange rail transport together with rail and intermodal operators. The container or trailer travels most of the route by rail, with a truck for the first and last leg.

Compared to road, rail has lower CO₂ emissions per tonne-kilometre and suits regular and heavier shipments over longer distances.

Frequently asked questions

What is intermodal transport?
Transport in a single loading unit – a container or trailer – using more than one mode. Usually rail for the main leg and truck for the start and end. The goods themselves are not handled in between.
Is rail faster than sea?
From Asia, rail is usually much faster than sea freight and cheaper than air. Current transit times and route availability change, so we always confirm them in our quote.
Which goods is rail suitable for?
Mainly heavier and bulkier goods, raw materials, engineering products and regular deliveries that can be planned in advance.
