Summary

The most important points at a glance: what changes, for whom, and from when. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Paper is gone: every road leg in our network now runs on the electronic CMR – signatures, timestamps and photos are available in real time. 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.

Background

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.

  • 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

What changes

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.

At the terminals

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.

  1. Send us your volumes and lanes
  2. We plan the route and the mode of transport
  3. Pick-up by truck at your ramp
  4. 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.

Why it matters

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.

In the planning office

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.
