Electric trucks take over the last mile in Munich
Twelve battery-electric tractor units now handle the container pre- and on-carriage around our Munich terminal – quietly and without local emissions.
Summary
In short: more departures, shorter transit times and fewer emissions. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Twelve battery-electric tractor units now handle the container pre- and on-carriage around our Munich terminal – quietly and without local emissions. Freight transport in Europe is changing fast. Customers expect reliable transit times, transparent prices and lower emissions – ideally all at once. Here is how we answer that.
What it means for you
Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt. Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet.
Every unit is tracked from pick-up to delivery, and our dispatchers react to delays before they reach the customer. That is what door-to-door means to us: one contact person, one plan, one invoice.
- Up to 90 % fewer CO₂ emissions on the main leg
- Exemption from weekend driving bans
- Higher payload thanks to the 44-tonne rule
- Less wear and fewer kilometres on the road
Next steps
Since the beginning of the eighties Road & Rail has been developing intermodal transport solutions which, in addition to environmentally-oriented added value, also offer significant economic advantages. We shift conventional road transports to rail and sea and thus contribute to a significant reduction in pollutant emissions.
On the road legs
With more than 300 daily departures on more than 250 Short Sea and Rail routes in Combined Transport, we link all the important European business centres. Our services combine the flexibility of the truck with the efficiency of the train.
- Send us your volumes and lanes
- We plan the route and the mode of transport
- Pick-up by truck at your ramp
- Main leg by rail or Short Sea
Our customers do not want to think about the mode of transport. They want their goods on time.

For shippers
A third of all our transports are already carried out using Combined Transport. By switching to alternative modes of transport we also relieve the European road network and contribute to less noise pollution and greater road safety.
