Intermodal transport
Sustainable logistics thanks to a combination of rail and road
In brief
Intermodal transport combines rail and road into an end-to-end logistics chain. Your goods remain in the same loading unit throughout the entire transport – without reloading. The main journey is carried out using environmentally friendly rail transport, while pre- and onward carriage are carried out flexibly by truck – a safe, efficient and sustainable transport solution for long distances in Europe.
