Cheaper than air freight and much faster than container ships, the benefits of rail transport are obvious. This alternative can reduce your costs by up to 50% compared to air freight, while transit times can be virtually halved compared to transport by sea. On top of all this, rail transport offers a much smaller carbon footprint, as around 90% of all kilometres travelled in rail freight are powered electrically.
We provide sufficient and flexible capacities for both LCL and FCL, so that you can reap the benefits of rail transport for your business at any time.
