H2 Combined Transport – Sustainable & Flexible
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 advantages. To achieve this, we shift conventional road transports to rail and sea, and thus contribute to a significant reduction in pollutant emissions.
A third of all our transports are already carried out using Combined Transport – as a result, we achieved a CO₂ reduction of 375,000 tonnes in 2025. By switching to alternative modes of transport, we also relieve the European road network and contribute to less noise pollution and greater road safety. And it’s not just the environment that benefits: by shifting from road to rail, more than 12,000 kilometres of traffic jams have also been avoided.
H2 Further development and strengthening of Combined Transport
As a pioneer and one of the largest players in Combined Transport in Europe, ROAD & RAIL has been making an essential contribution to reducing pollutant loads in transport for more than four decades. We are consistently continuing on this path. The focus here is both on the use and expansion of new train and ship connections, as well as increasing the frequency on existing connections.
With more than 300 daily departures on more than 250 Short Sea and Rail routes in Combined Transport, ROAD & RAIL links all the important European business centres.
