Combined transport makes optimum use of the system advantages of road and rail: long distances by rail, smaller scale distribution by road.
Diversifying transport carrier reduces risks. The railways earn a place in every logistics concept.
In combined transport, the transporter only drives short distances to and from the terminal. The consequence is lower purchase and operating costs for trucks as well as flexible staff costs.
The next peak in the economy is certain to come. Strategists are securing capacity now for the period after the crisis.
On average, combined transport saves 55% CO2 compared to pure road transport – an important argument for shippers.
Energy will be scarce and expensive in the future. Combined transport has a much more favourable energy profile than pure road freight transport.
Combined transport relieves the roads – private cars and road freight will be grateful.
The accident risk of rail traffic is 40 times lower than on the roads.
Tight controls protect the rail system. Theft and damage occur significantly less often than on the roads.
Combined transport offers the greatest safety for the transport of hazardous goods.
